I was just given a book to read by a fellow writer. Ad Infinitum, a biography of Latin by Nicholas Ostler. Very informative book if you are interested in the development and progress of the Latin language.
Of particular interest to me was the spread of Latin among the people of the west through the church. I had a conundrum to face about the education of one of my characters, and Mr. Ostler's book solved it nicely.
But, even if you are not a writer, it is an interesting book.
