A rare book not written by Stephen Hawking that doesn't suck. Malcolm Gladwell explains how ideas catch fire.


The Buy:
The Tipping Point

The Price:
$11.99
Exec Review:

The Tipping Point was written a few years ago by Malcolm Gladwell, a staff writer for the New Yorker who's pretty darn interesting at times (Google his piece on Roger Federer or his dialogue with Sports Guy Bill Simmons). I bought this because I read his other book, Blink, about how people make split-second decisions and whether that's better than thinking things through, and I enjoyed it. I heard this book, his first, was even better, so I put in an order with the Big A.

Anyone read this puppy? Good? Bad? So-so?

Check it out for yourself

I don't know who Stephen Hawkin is, but I couldn't agree more with your statement, Dave.

This book doesn't suck so much that even Snepsts read it, and Blink too. I relate it back to how Snepsts went from the best fighter in the NHL to a downright cult hero, spawning a whole generation of moustachioed beer league brutes.

Snepsts gives it two gloves off.
