Loved this book. Took me a while to read, as all non-fiction seems to, but that does NOT take away from how awesome it is. So much to learn! Things you'd never even considered. Where else are you going to find out that the modern table knife is a symbol of the passive aggressive nature of civilization as we know it and that its current form is the result of war-driven advancements in metal work?!
