@robertcapajpg​ tagged me to share the books I plan to read soon; I cheated and also included the ones i already started:

currently reading:

"Bi-scriptual: Typography and Graphic Design with Multiple Script Systems" by Ben Wittner, Sascha Thoma & Timm Hartmann (combining typography my beloved <3 and writing systems my beloved <3)

"Skönheten i kaos" ("The Beauty in Chaos") by Julia Ravanis (theoretical physics for laypeople)

"Khalid und das wilde Sprachpferd: Geflüchtete begegnen der deutschen Sprache" ("Khalid and the Wild Language Horse*: Refugees Encountering the German Language") by Dunja Ramadan (interviews with Syrian refugees about learning German. *I think one of the interviewees compares learning a language to taming a horse, hence the title.)

"Inka History in Knots: Reading Khipus as Primary Sources" by Gary Urton
