Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

Location: New Zealand		I've rejoined again. This year I want to re-read some I read a very long time ago and only have a hazy memory of. Also, I will read 2 of the new additions to the list that I haven't read before, an HG Wells and a Strugatsky Brothers.

How goes the battle, everyone? I am still not finished Star Maker, but otherwise I have caught up to everything up to this point. Still not a huge fan of PKD (though I did like Ubik) and I just remembered when I picked it up again that I'd read More Than Human before and I loved it!

Location: New Zealand		Why thank you. At the time I started the challenge, it was the only one I had, so I just powered through them. And as most of them were re-reads of favourites, they were quick reads.
