Okay, I've finished Chapter 1 about Montana. Some real-life wisdom about responsible land use and culture. BUT... ??

Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed

Dave is on page 170 of 288 of The Valley-Westside War (Crosstime Traffic, #6)

I suppose this book is geared toward a younger reader but it's enjoyable so far.

This book burst onto the scene with great fanfare from the professional intelligentsia class. I'm in wait-and-see mode.

The depiction of the Fourth Crusade is practically comic opera. Amazing that the roots of western civilization are founded in such idiocy.
