What DID the dog see?

Team, I've let you down. I did not tell you this book was coming out so you could line up. Instead, I can only say the book is out, and you should join me in the request line.

Malcolm Gladwell is the best selling author of the books Tipping Point, Blink and Outiers. Gladwell's most recent book, Outliers, is still listed by Library Journal as the most checked out adult non-fiction book from public libraries in the country. Still number one on the charts after being out for a year.

This "new" book is a collection of essays previously published in the New Yorker.

The opening essay, my personal favorite, describes taste, and how there is no such thing as perfect food, just perfect foods. Gladwell spoke about this as a presentation with the TED conference in 2007. The video of him talking is posted officially on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIiAAhUeR6Y

(I would embed the video, but it will break the frame. Who doesn't love links?)

I highly recommend watching this video if you have not yet read any of Gladwell's books. It's a great introduction to his style and the kinds of things you'll learn by reading the book.

So if you're looking for an entertaining and enlightening read, check out the works of Malcolm Gladwell. Millions of library patrons across the country cant be wrong.
