I was a tad disturbed by Oryx and Crake. Dystopian novels remind me of real-world issues, like those described in Hot, Flat and Crowded .
Just finished Oryx and Crake. It reminded me, (a bit too much) of Hot, Flat and Crowded .
I just finished Oryx and Crake. 'Better scratch dytopian novels off my list. That was way to similar to Hot, Flat and Crowded .

I think Hot, Flat and Crowded was the best I've read in a very long time. I'd consider it gloom and doom. The book describes plenty of solutions and actions to turn things around.

I read Hot, Flat, and Crowded earlier this year, and I absolutely agree with you. The part that scares me is that yes, it needs to happen and yes, it's going to suck but seriously we need to get started NOW and we just aren't doing that.

It's no surprise that Hot, Flat and Crowded has generated so much press. Thomas Friedman, who in his 2005 best-seller made a strong case for globalization without even mentioning the environment, has definitely ...
I would include Hot, Flat and Crowded . It's a brilliant book that would provide objective evidence of how stupid the Earthlings are.
If you haven't already read it, you may want to try Hot, Flat and Crowded , which is more about solutions than the proving that climate change exists.
... of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin as soon as I finish with Nixon (an infinitely interesting political villain)! Still have Hot Flat and Crowded on the tbr pile.
Jennifer -- I notice that since reading Hot, Flat and Crowded you've done a lot of comfort reading. Any connection? :-)

#7 Hot, Flat, and Crowded by Thomas L. Friedman
I'm not normally a huge fan of Friedman, but I thought that this book was incredibly thought-provoking. The first half is standard ...
... an NPR piece about Obama's reading habits and what that means for the publishing industry, they definitely said he'd read Hot, Flat and Crowded .
I read Hot, Flat, and Crowded and Gusher of Lies in the same time frame. Both authors made some points that made me think. I did come away not liking the idea of Fortress Energy America or a wall of energy built around America's borders.
In a world as networked and globalized as ours is I ...
I suspect that Obama has read Friedman. Some of his economic stimulus talk is clearly influenced by Hot, Flat and Crowded . I'm not saying I agree with everything Friedman wrote, but he's right about the big things, IMHO, and if so, we need to get crackin'. I think you'll find the book fascinating ...
I'm halfway through Hot, Flat, and Crowded by Thomas L. Friedman. I just finished the scary models of what will happen if we don't stop destroying the world now, but I haven't yet gotten to the how-to-fix-it part. Which means that right now, I want to turn off all the lights and the heat and ...
#4 - Hot, Flat and Crowded by Thomas L. Friedman
The world is in trouble. There's some debate about how much trouble, what time frame we have before the point of no return, and what we ought to do about it. Friedman's Hot, Flat and Crowded tackles all of these questions with an inspiring ...

I just finished Hot, Flat and Crowded and the solutions described in previous posts, are spelled out in great detail.
DrNeutron - I have Hot, Flat and Crowded on my bedside table. I'll have to move it up toward the top of the stack!
I'm reading Nixonland right now, and I'm finally nearing the end. It is a very interesting, but very detailed look at what happened in American politics between Johnson's ...
I'm about a quarter of the way into Hot, Flat and Crowded . It's really good so far.
Hot, Flat and Crowded is a must-read.
... it is his only novel. I'm about 100 pages in, and it is wonderful and bitchy and funny. I just love him.
Nonfiction is Hot, Flat, and Crowded by Thomas Friedman. I'm not that far into it, just at the scary part where he is going on about the climate 50 years from now.

I had previously read The Big Year which was outstanding.
I am just finishing up Hot, Flat and Crowded which is the most important book I've read in 2008 and 2009 as well, I am sure. We humans need a couple more planet earths, and if we don't get them ...
... official read of 2009 will be Colette's My Mother's House and Sido which is actually a reread for me. I'll probably read Hot Flat and Crowded and Toni Morrison's new book A Mercy after that. But I am reminded of my mother's caution: "man plans and God laughs!" Happy New Year everybody! No ...
Received two "most wanted" books for Christmas:
Toni Morrison's A Mercy and Thomas Friedman's Hot Flat and Crowded . Then I had to run out yesterday to get the book I am reading for a book club in early January: Disgrace by J. M. Coetzee. Can't put the Coetze book down, whereas I could ...

#119 - Hot, Flat and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution--and How It Can Renew America - Thomas L. Friedman
Just noticed I listed two books as #108, so this one becomes 119 instead of 118.
Borders had a one-day 50%-0ff sale on selected books yesterday so I picked up Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution--and How It Can Renew America by Thomas Friedman.
Then I went to a reading by Sarah Vowell and came home with a signed copy of The Wordy Shipmates.
... I liked it too, a good Irish mystery! I need to write some reviews. Been dipping into Change We Can Believe In and Hot, Flat, and Crowded . I am not finding Obama's book compelling in the least, but Friedman's might be considerably better. I have lots to read now that I am home and do ...
I just bought for my Kindle Flat, Hot, and Crowded , Change We Can Believe In, and Anathem. And the airplane flight to Paris is only 9.5 hours. How will I do it?
