Would you care to add a few lines about Sapiens? Plan to read it. But only tentatively.

Sapiens opened my eyes to social constructs and human behavior and forced me to think about the vast timeline of humanity and how small our time is within it. Personally it provoked a re-visit to the philosophical questioning of life.
Thanks.
How would you read it tentatively? Just a couple of pages at a time and then stop?
:) I was rather hoping that reading a single page (instead of a couple of pages) and then stopping would qualify.

Anyway, what I meant was that the plan was tentative. (I have read Guns, Germs and Steel and a few reviews seemed to liken Sapiens to that book. So was looking for some other perspectives.)
