I just love it when books I already own are recommended in documentaries. Would have even been better, if had already read it! 🙈🤦‍♀️🙈 So it‘s next on my list.

#OffMyShelf “Owned > 5 years”
My first completed book for #Shelfsweeper readathon . 😃

I listened to this on audio, read by the author. It was like a very long podcast…entertaining but I don‘t know that much will stick. But I don‘t think it‘s Gladwell‘s intention to write a how-to about how to create social movements or ad campaigns. He‘s more interested in exploring the fascinating and contradictory nature of human behavior and thought.

Tove_Reads Woohoo! 3w

Ruthiella @Liz_M Maybe? Would you recommend it? I have “What the Dog Saw” still on my shelf and I previously read (listened to) “Blink”. 3w
Liz_M @Ruthiella I read Ttp back in the day, haven't read the sequel. I was hoping you would and report back 😆 3w
Ruthiella @Liz_M 😂 I will put it on my TBR! Just for you. 3w

RamsFan1963 @Ruthiella @Liz_M I've read the sequel, and it's very entertaining. I don't think it had as big an impact on me as the first book, but Gladwell is always an author worth reading. 3w
Ruthiella @RamsFan1963 Great! Thanks for the tip! 3w
uncommonlycozies I'm currently reading Talking to Strangers by Malcom & it contains courtroom reenactments, news broadcasts, historical audio.. ect.
I totally agree that he's fueled by his interests rather than trying to give a guide. I'm studying the complexities of human behavior & The Tipping Point is up next. Thank you!

Ruthiella @uncommonlycozies I listened to his podcast about The Bomber Mafia which he later turned into a book and it was similarly layered with different sound bites, which definitely makes for rich listening experience. 2w

What a disappointment... I had so much difficulty going through this book. Interesting ideas but their presentation is boring and very repetitive. It is also lacking in depth.

A new episode of The Checkout Stack featuring @monalyisha and Megan Tully from the Ames Free Library in MA just dropped this morning. Tune in for a great set of book recommendations and a bonus cozy TV show which I enjoyed while recovering from a cold.

thecheckoutstack Thanks so much for listening @BookmarkTavern! 6mo
Chelsea.Poole Just finished the episode. Really enjoyed hearing @monalyisha and all the recs. This may just be my favorite new podcast!?! (I don‘t listen to podcasts but maybe I do now!) 6mo
monalyisha Aww, thanks @Chelsea.Poole & @BookmarkTavern! I don‘t typically listen to podcasts either but you know I think this topic is worth it…and I love Maria‘s passion! I *do* listen to Katherine May‘s podcast occasionally (because of course I do). And I managed to get into “60 Songs That Explain the 90‘s” for a while (the episode about Mazzy Star was my personal fave). 6mo

As a big admirer, it took me too many years to get around to reading this. No Logo is an account of how corporations began selling brands instead of products, ideas, lifestyles and symbols instead of commodities. With that came the focus group and brands marketed to specific demographics like urban youth who integrated Nike swag into gang culture. Into the 90s, public outcries against sweatshops and environmental degradation awoke a resistance.
