Arraya: Read both of Jared Diamond’s books. Along those lines, I would recommend Joseph Tainter’s “Collapse of Complex Societies”. Read it in college and again recently. It’s a dense read, but if you liked the Diamond books, this is an excellent work and Tainter’s findings parallel Diamond’s and alarmingly so.
I loved “The Big Lebowski”. Talk about an ensemble cast and where else would you see John Turturro performing cunnilingus on a bowling ball?
