I had to pick one and that was the one I remember having some interesting insights (though I can't come close to claiming I've read all of Pinker's books, and I pity anyone who has). It's probably been ten years since I read it, but I remember a section on people who were not socialized with language essentially created their own sort of soft-cognitive internal-context language for navigating the physical world. Thought that was cool.

I thought the section on 'language mavens' was also interesting. If you grow up around people who are needlessly pedantic about language that section might be of interest to you. That section combined with how language recently expanded under the omnipresence of internet-text-based communication, especially on those who are young and still learning languages, is a topic worth considering.
