Yippee!!

My darling Adam knows the way to my heart – a notification that Malcolm Gladwell has started blogging!

Know, my fascination with the works of Mr. Gladwell has gone back a significant while; I relished the Tipping Point the first time, second time, and each time I feel like just breathing in a chapter or two. I saw him give a presentation on Blink before I even read it at U of T right around this time last year and that was incredible as well (I forgot my name when I got my books signed. Seriously, you’d have thought I was a ten year old meeting Hilary Duff). And the archives of his articles in the New York Times are full of interesting and provocative ideas for a bumbling communication studies student to read as inspiration for fresh and exciting stuff to write about (beyond the usual Marshall McLuhan jargoneeze).

Alright, enough already – I’m off to go soak up some more Gladwellian bloggy goodness…

Thanks again, Adam!

    Gladwell doesn’t write for NY Times; I am pretty sure you meant New Yorker :)

    Yowch! Good catch Farid…I think I’ll blame my delirious happiness on that misstep… and the unfortunate fact that I’ve only been able to read his articles on his website, not in the actual paper. Thanks for correcting me!!
