How Do You Judge a Book?
"Not that many"- my words after reading Malcolm Gladwell's David and Goliath book
In my opinion, one way I judge a book is by the number of pages I have dog eared. This allows me to quickly go back through the book and re-read the key points. Often times some of these marked pages become topics for a future blog post.
Why is this important? Well, I thought that this is a good way to judge a book. But maybe I am wrong? I just got through Malcolm's book and only made four marks. I enjoyed most of the book and was excited to tell others to pick up the book before I finished?
The book is very interesting but not very useful to me as a thinking tool. This could be because, even though I enjoyed it, I had issues with some of the conclusions. But I never expect to find a book that I completely agree with.
