I love, love love the book Guns, Germs and Steel. It's not perfect but the author throws in so many great ideas as to why certain groups did better than others.

  That's because you're an emo kid and like books that conform to your narrow view of reality.

  I liked that book, too, but later controversies surrounding Diamond have made me wonder how much I should rely on the narrative presented there.

    I think don't rely at all, just add it to the set of things you include when thinking about the issues. The book is awesome because it added so many dimensions to consider that I never had before.
