Crystal is an excellent author of books regarding the english language, read one of his books for linguistic anthropology, http://www.amazon.ca/Little-Book-Language-David-Crystal/dp/0300170823.

This subreddit is nice, seeing a name I've studied content from :).

As an edit, I figured there was an Aeon article that fit well enough: https://aeon.co/essays/why-is-english-so-weirdly-different-from-other-languages

Basically, why is english so odd and different from othr languages, what led up to it, etc.
