crack'n open the books

I have an addiction to books. I tend to intermittenly read a poetry book, a literature book, a true crime, and something political or educational all at the same time. Which one I pick up at night usually depends on my mood.

As of late, my mood has returned to my educational background of Geography. A friend recommended Jared Diamond's "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed".

Check out the link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0670033375/002-7418987-6618468?v=glance&n=283155&v=glance to see the book at Amazon or if you are interested in a more complete article check out here http://www.grist.org/advice/books/2005/02/08/kavanagh-collapse/

I am only on chapter one (always read intros) and I am intrigued. I have a feeling I will post more indepth thoughts concerning the content soon.

If you have read this or are reading this- let me know what you think.
