Good reads

Read these two books over the last month or so. Excellent ones, strongly recommended.

Tinderbox: The Past and Future of Pakistan by M.J. Akbar, one of India's prominent journalists.

The World Until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies, by Jared Diamond

In the past, I have enjoyed reading Jared Diamond's other works - "Collapse: How societies choose to fail or succeed" and "Guns, Germs, and Steel : the fates of human societies".
