Cover of David Bowie's Space Oddity. So haunting..

I have gone book ordering crazy and I need to put it to a halt.

In the past 2 weeks I have ordered:

- Island at the End of the World: The Turbulent History of Easter Island by Steven Roger Fischer
- Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared Diamond
- Evolution: The First Four Billion Years by Edward O. Wilson (Foreword), Michael Ruse (Editor), Joseph Travis.
-Living Without God by Ron Aronson
-Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity by Bruce Bagemihl

I have already bought, but not yet finished:

-Loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection by John T. Cacioppo and William Patrick.
-Titanic's Last Secrets by Brad Matsen

It doesn't help me financially that I only refuse to buy books in hardcover form.
I am going to have to read Living Without God first because there is a book signing and reading at Barnes & Noble in 2 weeks. But bottom line, no more books until I finish one and then can reward myself with a new one. I have this ridiculous fear that if I don't get the book right then I'll forget about it, and thus I will never will read it. For a neurotic person like myself, that formualtes into a pretty formidable emotion.

I am excited about getting my hands on Bruce Bagemhil's book though. Here is a little preview of it:

PRETTY!

I'm suing for defamation of character! :p

I watched a very informative BBC documentary tonight about Easter Island and the Rapa Nui inhabitants, which are famous for creating the Moai (the monumental statues that are scattered across the remote island in the Pacific Ocean).

It explained the efforts of how creating and placing these statues actually contributed to wiping out this civilization by means of an ecological disaster. Their case is a small scale example of what could potentially happen with the human species on Earth.

Here are the first two parts. Watch the other 4 parts if you have an hour to spare.
