Hey, have you read that "Germs Guns and Steel" book I was going on about? I think it might be up yer alley.

No,have not read that one.
Where did you mention it?

I´m familiar with it though,have heard mixed opinions about-.

I forget where I said something about it. From my PBS-level science perspective, it's really terrific, though.

I see.

Thank you.
I´ll take that title back to "considerations".

here's a fiction book I just finished, pretty good imo. don't know how factual it is but the author states he did his research. it presented some pretty interested takes on neanderthals in general and a twist on religion that was fun to think about.

I do feel so too.

But for one,I´m a very slow reader and second,it´s strange.

You know, you guys are not exactly helping dismantle the myth that martial artists are a bunch of nerds. :)

No,possibly we´re not.

But we´ll make them appear literate.

"Xanth" books and Star Trek novels don't count.

"Xanth" books and Star Trek novels don't count.

A-freakin-men to that. Nothing formula written counts at all.

I absolutely hate formula writers.:mad:

I'm too dumb to read anything really high brow, fiction or non.

my latest non-fiction was "When China Ruled the Seas"

pretty good but not enough fighty stuff, actually none at all.

it seems that were it not for a change in emperors and thus a complete change in foreign policy, we might have been one step away from China becoming the dominant world power.
