Lunatic Lovers of Language

Talk of the books section on Langmaker.com reminded me of something
which happened a while ago that I kept on meaning to bring up, but, for
one reason or another, kept on forgetting to bring up.

A few weeks ago, the author of _Lunatic Lovers of Language_ added the
book as a book resource on Langmaker.com.   I've never read or seen the
book, but from what I remembered from discussion on this list, it seemed
like the book was very negative about language creation, and limited its
scope to only a few philosophical languages that aren't really representative
of what language creation has become.   Based on this, I thought to myself,
"Is she adding her book as a veiled insult to those who view this site, or
what?"   Of course, I haven't read the book, and I'm working on
half-remembered
second-hand information.   I asked Jeffrey Henning about it, and he said that
it
had gotten a fairly good review on Amazon.com.   He suggested I write a
review of it, since the author didn't, but, as I've mentioned already, I
haven't
read it.   So I thought I'd let the list know about it, because I know there
are
people on this list who've read it, and who would be able to give it a proper
review.   Any takers?
