Guns, Germs, and Steel

[flow]

Anyone here read the book: Guns, Germs, and Steel.. Written by Jared Diamond? The guy is a geography teacher at UCLA, and it's a pretty brilliant book. I'm only half way through it (my roommate owns it, and I've decided to read it during finals week while everyone else is actually cramming).

Yeah, I'm currently reading it right now. Absolutely brilliant, and brought up a bunch of things that never occurred to me on that subject. It's one of the few books I've read that's changed my perspective on life.

I heard about it and want to read it (aiming to be a geographer and all ). Will see when i have the time.

Hmmm sounds very interesting. Will read it... *glances at the dusty piles of unread books* ... err someday.

Recently got this along with Diamond's other book to do with how societies collapse.

Looks interesting, about to start reading it when I finish my current book 'The Renaissance Soul' (book for INTPs).
