Don't Sleep, There Are Snakes by Daniel Everett - I'm halfway into this and it's absolutely gripping, eye-opening and hugely educational to boot. I came across it while searching for books of the popular linguistics type on Amazon. Just stumbled upon it, really. And now I've found a new role model in the author of this book - so much so that I actually want to meet him and talk to him in person, which has never happened to me with any of the hundreds of authors I've read. Also bought but haven't yet started: Stiff by Mary Roach - the phone interview with her on the Sick & Wrong podcast made me curious The Fight For English by David Crystal - a book about the pros and cons of grammar nazism (which I as an ESL have been severely guilty of, despite all the mistakes I make in my English)
