As of writing this, I have managed to read through [about] 87.87878787878787878787...% of the book. Almost as if the novel knew that the readers would (almost) get bored out of their minds, it started picking up the pace (so-to-say). For example, when Bejan started writing about the science behind city structure patterns (which meant nothing to me before I started reading), he compared the pipes and sewer/sewage systems to the cardiovascular system of a human. This gave me some good ideas as to what a city's structure is before he even talked about very single thing that makes up a [basic] city. Also, this comparison made me think about the city in an anatomical way (by the way there's apparently a book which, literally, talks about the anatomy of a city).
Also, some of the topics that Bejan delves into topics introduced in the second half of the book (technology, politics, sports, economics, etc.), were much more interesting (at least in my opinion) in comparison to the topics in the first half of the book (fire, tools, waterways, etc).

I could talk about everything else, but I would end up getting too carried away with some of the specifics, which I'm planning to introduce in my major blog. I'm not gonna try to make you guys wait in anticipation... although I don't think I could name a student in this block who eagerly waits for me to update this blog. But, uh, yeah. More will come.
