Jared Diamond...

Anyone read any of his books? I went to Barnes and Noble today and saw Collapse. Seems like a very interesting read, I might end up buying it once I finish State of Fear.

State of Fear was good IMO but the ending was a bit of a let down.

True with most of Crichton's stuff... I've come to expect it hehe. Still LOVE his books.

I just got thru reading "State of Fear" recently as well. I thought the book was pretty good. The ending was pretty weak, but that is something I have noticed in many modern authors. I think I am going to hunt down some of the books that Crichton cites in the bibliography of State of Fear. Pretty interesting perspective he had and I would like to read for myself.

Guns, Germs, and Steel is one of the best, and most informative, books written in my lifetime.
