Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking 967 reviews Malcolm Gladwell
Back Bay Books, 2007
blink...and then it's gone
There's not much substance to this book. Rather than being a resource of information, it is merely a book of examples. There is no broad takeaway you can gather from it after reading except to say perhaps that many of our decisions are based on split-second thoughts. But did you really need to read ...

Talk to the Hand: The Utter Bloody Rudeness of the World Today, or Six Good Reasons to Stay Home and Bolt The ... 7 reviews Lynne Truss
Gotham, 2006
Truss Comes Back Fighting the Extinction of Etiquette
+ Anti Social.
Embittered albeit bemused finger-wagging appears to be author Lynne Truss' specialty, and I have to say I find her newest little tome on the global lack of respect and good manners even more cutting than her bad grammar colonic, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. ...

The Penelopiad: The Myth of Penelope and Odysseus (Myths, The) 19 reviews Margaret Atwood
Canongate U.S., 2006
Delightfully Cheeky
+ Light, satirical and racy + Cult of the Mother Goddess
Margaret Atwood can write in many tones, but cheeky has to be her best. She made the story of the long-suffering Penelope and the insufferable Odysseus a delight to read, with character revelations poor old Homer couldn't possibly imagine and a chorus of maltreated maids that not only provided ...
