Guns, Germs and Steel is a great book and has provoked many conversations in the past on ZLMB.

If you like that book, I'm betting you would enjoy my all-time favorite book, The Moral Animal, by Robert Wright.

I never got around to reading that yet. Does anyone know if it's still 'current'?

It's been a while since I read GG&S, so I can't comment on specific details that may need updated, but the overall theme of the book will always be current.

Oh, I'll have to order that. I'm burning up my half.com account. by the way, what is ZLMB?

ZLMB = Zion's Lighthouse Message Board (the message board created by LDS who were tired of the biased moderation of the Tannner's Lighthouse Message Board, so deliberately created a board with nonpartisan moderating. Dissatisfaction with ZLMB resulted in a mass exodus of believers from ZLMB to FAIR)
