I'll say this for the Jared Diamonds of the world though... it's worth reading 1-2 such books when you're in college just to expand your mind so you can think at larger scales. I did like Guns, Germs and Steel when it first came out. I benefitted before I discovered its flaws.

I liked The Sleepwalkers by Arthur Koestler.
