more malcolm gladwell than you can shake a stick at

I just finished Blink today and it was a fantastic read, maybe even a little better than The Tipping Point.  However, [livejournal.com profile] ceejs's own David Zink wasn't as impressed, instead offering a blistering critique.  Later, i'm greeted by ESPN.com's Jeff Merron interviewing Gladwell.

Blink is on my list--glad to see you liked it.

I wanna read it!

I liked Tipping Point a lot... is Blink out in paperback?

Nope, just came out in hardcover.

Is that the David Zink with the Yorkshire Terriers....

...who used to live in NYC?

If so, it's a small world.

I have no idea. However, he did recently mention one of your books in his Top 10 science fiction books list of the moment (http://www.ceejbot.com/blog/comments/start/2005-02-12/1).
