Guns, Germs, and...hence?

So, I have been ever so enthralled in my recent book, Guns, Germs, and Steel, by Jared Diamond. Reason as to why I haven't posted a blog in the past five days, I haven't put it down. I love it. However there is one little caveat. Jared Diamond, finds a way to use the word hence, every, single, paragraph. I don't know how he does it. When ever I write a small essay, I am totally OCD about words being repeated. I don't like to sound like a broken record, even though I have been told I do. Back to the Point. Let me give you a little background on Mr. Diamond. He is Professor of Geography at UCLA, has thirteen published books, was on the New York Times Bestseller, and, and, is a Winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Now, do you really think that I should believe a college professor, prize winner, and bestselling author can't possibly think of another word then, hence? That is just sad. Not a single, ergo, or therefore, no. HENCE! Mr. Diamond, there's this crazy, crazy book that a random guy came up with, think his name was Merriam, or something, called a thesaurus. And, now-in-days, they have a whole website devoted to just thesaurus' and dictionaries. I know, I know, hard to believe, but it's true.
