Quiet

i think some people grow up knowing exactly where they fit into the scale of introvert and extrovert; i am not one of those people, so much of the new work being published about introversion is nothing short of revelatory.

so, it breaks down like this: writing gets 3/4. it's good, but stylistically it is not gripping. maybe that's because it's about introverts; more likely it is because i want all nonfiction to be written by bill bryson, stephen pinker, or shirley jackson. i am aware that i have unrealistic expectations.

the subject matter, no matter how it is presented, gets a 5 because this is one of a few books that have truly and irrevocably altered my perspective regarding myself and/or everything else.

more reflection is required, but still, neat-o.
