It's one of the perils of advanced age and extensive reading. I saw a nice copy of Guns, Germs & Steel at a used book sale - one buck! - a couple of days ago, but after perusing it I realized that most of the interesting stuff the author knits together is stuff I already know. There would just not have been a good work/reward ratio for the time spent reading it. But thirty years ago, I would have devoured it, with profit and enjoyment.
