This has been sitting on my bookcase for quite a while, and I read it about a year ago. The essence of this books remains with me today, with the idea that amazing things can happen once things get to a certain point. A motivating way to look at life.

I got this in the mail today as part of a bookswap - thanks! I'm almost done with Homesick Restaurant, and will mail it in a day or so.
After getting this book from my girlfriend, katn77 (per the suggestion of the good folks over at Signal -Vs- Noise) I got to tear through it on a couple of rather lousy Airtran flights to and from Atlanta, GA.
Very intriguing look at the seemingly innoculous "invisible dance" we do, day to day, slowly driving things from obscurity into popularity (or vice versa). Gladwell imparted a wonderful sense of both helplessness (things such as marketing, crime and whatnot seem to work independently of one's best efforts) and empowerment (tiny, fundamental changes can have impact events outside of our normal frame of reference).
