Finished Blink. 'Not the deepest book in the world, but hugely entertaining, as were Gladwell's others.

I just finished Blink and loved it as much as Outliers and The Tipping Point. It was read by the author. I'm now tackling Siddhartha. I must be a cowboy; I ain't gittin' all this here "Eastern" stuff.

Well, to be painfully honest, I've read neither. 'Looks like I have some Forster TBR list work to do myself. 22. Blink Now, I can say I've read 3 of Mr. Gladwell's works, and I can also state I've loved them all. The stories, studies and illustrative examples are wonderful. It was as ...

I finished reading Blink: The power of thinking without thinking and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I enjoyed The Tipping Point as well. I see that he has a new book, Outliers that I plan to read at some point. Blink was very thought provoking in that he gives examples of split ...

... Can't be Made in the Blink of an Eye by Michael R. LeGault. Read shortly after reading Malcolm Gladwell's Blink.

From Sandydog's library I would choose Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.

I finished reading Austen's Northanger Abbey a few days back. I'm now reading The Mango Season by Amulya Malladi and Blink by Malcolm Gladwell.

kswolff in Literary Snobs : a challenge (May 21, 2009, 11:04am)

... any Harry Potter book because I consider it "kiddie lit." Nor any pop bestsellers either. Just seeing a picture of Malcolm Gladwell makes me want to hurl the book with egregious force. How about pop trash mysticism, like Sylvia Browne and such? Surely that low-grade hucksterism ...

I think Blink was pretty drawn out--should have been a magazine article. Did you read his earlier Tipping Point? I think that one had more to say. And it was fun to read Freakonomics, which contradicted some of Tipping Point. I didn't know those books were pop sociology, but yeah, sometimes ...

... in the mood for that. I find, in general, those books tend to be very silly and sort of half sociology, half self-help. Blink's main message, in my recollection, was "people make snap judgments and sometimes that's not bad; trust your instincts". And for that, Gladwell become a sensation? I ...

... but I think I was to clear my mind by reading a short, pop-ish work of smart non-fiction - something like Freakonomics or Blink, that doesn't require too much thinking but is based in reality. I feel like I've been in fantasy-land for my last couple of books. Any suggestions?

Mine was definitely Temeraire, followed closely by Silent in the Sanctuary and Blink.

Now reading The Throne of Jade as well as The Historian and Blink. I'm itching to get on with the Temeraire series but at the same time I don't want to finish it before I have access to the next one, and I'm in a hotel in the middle of nowhere...

... Ashton-Warner, The Persimmon Tree by Marjorie Barnard and Invitation to the Waltz by Rosamond Lehmann. Also bought Blink by Malcolm Gladwell and Nine Parts of Desire by Geraldine Brooks.

Still reading The Historian (which I think is going to take a while, as it's kind of being read in the background) and Blink, both of which I'm enjoying. I've just finished Temeraire which I absolutely loved; I may have to purchase The Jade Throne tomorrow. I think next up will be Spell Hun ...

#45 let us know what you think of Outliers - it looks interesting, but I tried to read his Blink (which also sounded interesting, I thought) and didn't make it past chapter 2. I just couldn't tolerate his writing, so I've been intentionally avoided Outliers.

... it, if you see what I mean, but I have a whole load of library and new books I'm itching to get started on and I'm loving Blink so far. I suspect The Historian will be a background book for a while.

... clearly not very cultured! Definitely worth the read though. It's my first non-fiction book of the year and I've gone on to Blink which is really interesting so far. In fiction I'm still reading The Sword in the Stone and The Historian, neither of which have particularly grabbed me but I ...

... 3 in that series but didn't have 1), Q & A by Vikas Swarup (which I want to read before I see Slumdog Millionaire) and Blink by Malcolm Gladwell.

I haven't read Blink, but Gladwell is on my list of authors to read. I liked his style, it's different from but reminds me of Barbara Erhenreich.

Hi walk2work! Since you enjoyed Outliers, have you read Blink by Malcolm Gladwell? It's also really good, makes you think about how you make decisions.

... Good luck with your challenge. I am trying to read about 15 nonfiction books on my challenge. A few I would recommend are Blink by Malcolm Gladwell (about how we make split decisions without even knowing it), A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah (the story of a boy solider in Sierra Leone), and M ...

... theresak1975 - this is my first attempt at a challenge here. I read Gladwell's other two books-The Tipping Point and Blink, and I liked this one the most! I think because I was able to connect to more information on a personal level.

Thanks for the review of Outliers. Check out Blink if you haven't read it. It's another one that makes you stop and rethink how you make decisions. I've got Outliers on my TBR list. Maybe I should bump it up a few. Good luck with the challenge!
