Isn't that only an essay?

Yeah, but who gives. Swift is crazy.

Tai-Pan by James Clavell.

I just picked up Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond. I hope it's good.

I just finished reading that a week ago. Really interesting book, certainly convinced me that the environment plays a huge role in the development of "civilization." I'v been doing a little peripheral reading on the topics the book covers (namely the effect of environment on human populations) and I get a kick out of how people call Diamond a racist and/or Eurocentrist. The entire book he talks about Eurasian this and Eurasian that, always emphasizing the role of environment over people. Anyone that calls this guy a racist hasn't read his (pulitzer prize winning) book.

Bill Bryson- A Short History of Nearly Everything

I have about 15 pages left to read. A few parts were slow and tedious (depends on what subjects you find interesting though) but overall it's been a great read. Highly recommended

I also just finished A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn. Anyone thinking of reading this book should look elsewhere. Despite being a professor at Boston University, Zinn writes like a 15 year old. Critics call the book "readable," by this they mean it's written at an 8th grade level. Half the book consists of long block quotations; the other half consists of his overly blunt, painful to read prose. This is a shame really, as this could have been a great book.
