August's read is Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared Diamond. I've got it ordered from the library. At 575 pages, I may need to start it right away.
Has anyone read this? I've read Guns, Germs, and Steel by the author and thought it was good but repetitive.
ETA: Because it is non-fiction there won't be a no spoilers thread.

I haven't even made it to the July book yet, and it's short! I have Collapse, and I plan to read it, but I don't know when. Life has been getting in the way, and it's looking like August will be even busier.
I liked Guns, Germs, and Steel too, but found that he tended to argue that certain things must have happened, because there is no evidence that they didn't happen. I couldn't get into The World Until Yesterday at all, but I do want to read some more of his books.

There's nothing wrong with this group. But I guess you mean you meant to post this somewhere else :)
