What i'm reading June 2008

Finished -

GUNS GERMS & STEEL by Jared Diamond

Pulitzer winning work. The story of civilization from a Biologists perspective. Highly reccomended. It gets boring at times. And you can tell Diamond has only only one good book in him. This is that book.
Why Eurasians conquered the world? And How?(The answer is diseases).
Why Man could not domesticate Leopards(My fav part of the book). Etc etc
