introducing

he's the last 5 nonfiction books I read, actually the last 5 books I read:

* Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, by J. Diamond
* The 5-Day Course in Thinking, by Edward de Bono
* Guns germs and steel: The Fates of Human Societies , by J. Diamond
* The rage and the pride, by Oriana Fallaci
* Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest
Scientific Problem of His Time, by Dava Sobel

now reading:

* Cradle of Life: The Discovery of Earth's Earliest Fossils, by J. William Schopf

I (almost) stopped buying books 4-5 years ago, when it occurred to me that I was buying faster than I was reading; and that when I had the chance of reading something, too much time already passed and I was no more "in the mood" for that specific book.
So I decided, whenever a book title aroused me, to write it down, and to look at that list whenever I was in the need of a book.
We happen to have a lot of public libraries here, so there isn't really the need of buying books.
(ah! almost forgot! I was also running out of space at home for books...)

Recommend SNAKEBIT. Very well written and still addresses the most recent issues and mysteries of our Cold-Blooded friends. Check it out!
