I'd say read a bit of Chomsky first (especially if you're interested in language/linguistics.) Pinker's very much one of Noam's disciples.

Maybe. However, from the reviews I read it appeared that Pinker should be read before Chomsky. Ever since I read Hegemony or Survival, I've been meaning to pick up something else by Chomsky, perhaps his linguistic works - considering I have trouble finding much interest in politics - but, obviously, I haven't. Hopefully soon.
