• 19/30 – The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell (DONE!)

Well. Now that was an interesting three months. A strange combination of events prevented me from adding to this list. A lack of time, a lack of energy, and then reading books only to have to return them to the library half-read…I’m just happy to have been able to finish anything.

So, yeah, 11 more books in maybe a month and a half. Possible, but not gonna happen. I’ll have the week around Thanksgiving at my folks to spend some time reading, but that’s the only real dedicated time. Maybe next year.

Thanks, Dad! A wonderful birthday gift!

And it puts all other MP3 players to shame. Hey, if you want something that supports your WMA or OGG files, well, that’s your problem. But the iPod is – bar none – the best MP3 player you can buy. It’s in a class all by itself.

• 18/30 – Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner (DONE!) Interesting, but I was hoping for a little more. I guess I’m just being spoiled by Malcolm Gladwell’s books, which do a markedly better job of tying everything back to a unified theory.

Speaking of Malcolm Gladwell, I’ve got The Tipping Point back. I finished half of The World Is Flat before I had to take it back to the library. I wrote down where I was and rerequested it. I had to take The Tipping Point back, but I already rerequested it knowing I wouldn’t have time to finish it, and a fresh copy was waiting for me when I got to the library. :)

So, The Tipping Point it is. Then probably The Wisdom of Crowds since that one is due back soon. My sister bought me a copy of iCon Steve Jobs too, and I’ve been wanting to read that for a while.
