I suspect you don't know who Jared Diamond is. He is the Pulitzer-Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel and Collapse. It is certainly not weird at all

I suspect you don't know who Jared Diamond is. He is the Pulitzer-Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel and Collapse.
It is certainly not weird at all to include the author's name if the author is a famous writer.
- cstejerean 19y agoI have to admit that when I first saw the title my first thought was also about the jewelry business. I guess I can blame it on brain washing from TV commercials.
- bluishgreen 19y agoI for one, wouldn't have clicked if I didn't see the authors name on the title.
- icey 19y agoOh, I don't disagree. It's just that in this specific instance it was confusing. My comment was just because I'm sure other people might be confused as well. There's a Jared Diamond like half a mile from my house, so it just popped into my head first.
