Book 52: 1493

Hooray! Book 52! Now I don't have to read again until January 1, 2013!

Yeah, not really. That would be a challenge: "Catherine's Zero Book Challenge for the Last Four Months of 2012".

1493 by Charles C. Mann

Anyway, back to 1493.  The content of this book was amazing. There really is no aspect of our lives that is not touched by the "Columbian Exchange", or the transfer of people, animals, insects, diseases, and goods around the world that began with Colombus' voyage. The writing was a bit dry sometimes.
