I remember Dragon Tears being very good. Tick Tock. I also recommend the Bad Place.
I also usually have a non-fiction audio book going in the car (I have about a half-hour commute, longer when I have to pickup or drop off the kids).
I started listening to "Blink" in the car. Pretty good so far, same tone as "The Tipping Point" and just as interesting.
I just read Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk(writer of Fight Club). What a weird, weird book. Twisted and gross but pretty entertaining..not really a horror book or about a haunting like you'd expect from the title.
If anyone can read the short story "Guts" and not get squeamish you've got something on me.
I just started Steven Pressfield's Virtues of War: A Novel of Alexander the Great. I read Gates of Fire about 3 years ago and I'm not sure why I waited so long to pick up another one of his novels...its a very good read.
I thought this a good idea, so I put Blink on my ipod and started listening to it today...I haven't read The Tipping Point (yet) but Blink has completely captivated me right away...this is great stuff. I'm now looking forward to the commute for more of the book.
Yup. He does them both with aplomb (not to be confused with abomb).Hey Pariah, does Gladwell also read the Tipping Point audio book?
I like the way he reads Blink.
I've read a lot of his Novels, probably most of them. Intensity is one of my favorites...Fear Nothing and Seize the Night were very good as well.
Does she tuck you in & kiss your forehead when she's done reading you your bedtime story?Erin and I started reading this book. Pretty good so far; something about a boy wizard or something.

I used to work in the same building as the author. An old school house in Boulder right on the creek. I think he stole my yogurt out of the fridge one day.

It was good yogurt, too. But the next day he had some really great pudding in the there, so I took that to make us even stevens.the bastard.

I should write a book about that. I'd call it "Good to Great: The Real Story."
I'd have Jason write my forward.You might leave out the chapter on the switch from Pariah to Jason to Pariah.

ftfy
sigh. What are we going to do with abomb?No, you ruined it.
See, he went from good to great. Good yogurt to great pudding.
Seriously, folks. We need a "shakes fist" smiley.He does have a point, though, since Jariah said that they were "even stevens". If he went from good to great, then really, he one-upped him.
