I miss books
I've spent the summer reading magazines (few more weighty than US weekly) and the interweb. and finally finishing up Jane Jacobs. which is a reversal for me. when I was in high school and college, I used to read a book a week during the summer - I went through a fitzgerald phase, a tom robbins phase, even a henry miller phase. all the books I didn't get a chance to read while I was in school slogging through foucault and derrida (what can I say, it was the early 90s and I was an art history major).so today I cashed in an old amazon gift certificate to stock on some books I've been meaning to read (despite the fact that I have a backlog already):
- Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking. I saw gladwell speak at the hammer earlier this year and he's a great, great speaker. I also loved the Tipping Point and years later, I still bring it up regularly in conversation. I heard Blink isn't quite as good, but malcolm's my man.
- Freakonomics: A rogue ecnomist explores the hidden side of everything. they're all over the nytimes. and google's blog. ok, I'm in. I'm very easily swayed by media coverage.
- Ladies and Gentlemen, The Bronx Is Burning: 1977, Baseball, Politics, and the Battle for the Soul of a City. this week is the 40th anniversary of the watts riots, so political unrest and mayhem may be top of mind. I was 4 that summer but that's my city, so I'm going back to the days of punk music, studio 54, son of sam, and reggie jackson. can't wait.

I'm trying to get away from magazines (all seven of those I'm subscribed to) to do more reading, too. I am probably the only person in my profession (public relations) to have not read The Tipping Point yet. It's on my shelves, but I just can't put Real Simple down long enough to get started. I'm also interested in reading Blink, but should probably read Tipping first.
