Pinker, Blank Slate references GGS. I'm also reading a collection of essays by Barbara Kingsolver, and GGS is at the top of her "suggested reading" list. After Blank Slate I only have four more books to go. . . wait, make that three, since one is fiction. I guess Diamond has to be worked in pretty soon!I recall someone on the list is reading Steel for a class. Even though the official discussion is over, I'd be up for delving back into it with any who are interested.

Jeremy:I moved this thread to this forum since it pertains to Guns, Germs and Steel. These book forums never die so feel free to continue the discussions even when we have moved to another book.Chris Edited by: Chris OConnor  at: 10/30/05 3:39 pm
