I'm half way through reading this book, subtitled "The amazing adventures of translation", and it is superb.
I heartly recommend it to anyone interested in language in any way at all, but especially, obviously, for anyone who ever does any translation.
(Apologies if it's been mentioned before, but i did a search and couldn't find it. if it was up to me that fucking stupid "current reading" thread would be disbanded and broken down into its constituent parts. It would certainly make the books forum more user friendly and worth visiting. /ends rant)
