It's interesting to me what books were read for classes... I wish I'd had some of those other books covered in my classes!

Wow, good for you! I have lots of time, too, but tend to spend it cruising the internet... or reading really trashy books!?!?

Someday I'll get to _Guns, Germs and Steel_. I've had it forever, but just have never got round to reading it.
