BTW - The Empire of the Word was a little tedious for the first 250 pages (that pretty much killed Saturday). The guy was a little detailed and my interest in Aramaic, Persian, Sanskrit and Chinese isn't all that intense. But once he gets into Greek, and the fight between the Celtic, Slavic, Germanic and Romance languages it gets real interesting. I guess I am pretty Occidental centric. Soon as I finish it I am going to get the Jared book. Did you think the second book was as good as the first (Guns, Germs and Steel)?
