Thank you for the link. Certainly it's been my belief that those people likely to download lots of music are also likely to buy a lot of music. Though pretty much exactly as I developed the capacity to violate a lot of copyrights, I pretty much stopped listening to music at all; but I do enjoy reading other people's suggestions.
I've read Collapse, and I've read some of the material Gladwell developed into Blink in The New Yorker and perhaps The New York Times Magazine. Collapse had a lot of interesting anthropological detail, which I liked, but there was a lot of tedious repetition within those 700 pages. I'd definitely recommend both Guns, Germs and Steel and The Third Chimpanzee over it.
