I just finished Jared Diamond's Collapse on audiobook, and I am just getting going on Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson, thanks to wasoxygen. Collapse wasn't as interesting as Guns, Germs and Steel. Still, I think Diamond gets more flack than he deserves, and there was some good food for thought in it. Also, I previously knew nothing about the failed Viking settlement of Greenland. I can tell that Cryptonomicon is going to be a good read. I'll probably go back to Churchill after that. Book four of his five on WWII.
