At the bottom of this page you will find a list of Books that I am currently consuming – populated by the ever popular allconsuming.net. I remember the first time I stumbled upon All Consuming – I must have clicked on a link from 43Things and found my way to their sister site.
For a while now I’ve had a goal on 43Things to Read a Book A Week. I’ve even populated that list of books on AllConsuming. And just to be sure that I stay true to my commitment – I send myself these little weekly reminders (okay it’s automated – but you get the idea):
Dear future self,
I’m reminding you about your stated goal on 43 things, to
“read a book a week”.How’s it going?
Sincerely,
Your past self
If you’re wondering what’s up first – it’s The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. I was reading a short piece in The Age of Conversation the other day that piqued my interest in this book. It’s been on my reading list for a long time – but I moved it to the top for two reasons. One – I heard the term “Connector” and immediately realized it described me to a T. And two – I love the idea that “Little Things Can Make A Big Difference”.
Oh – and if you haven’t bought your copy of the newest Social Media Handbook – The Age of Conversation – definitely check it out. Kudos to our favorite Maven of Media Connie Reece for her chapter “The Two-step of Conversational Writing”.

I haven’t read Tipping Point, but Gladwell’s Blink is a great book.
I highly recommend “Tipping Point.” You’re a combination Connector and Maven — and will recognize that when you read.
And thanks for the shout-out about The Age of Conversation.
