Beyond queer theory
Is the public emergence of players like Paglia and Sullivan a blow to the "queer movement" or should we laud the diversity they represent? Is Paglia accurate in depicting the (US) queer subculture as in increasingly insular and pointless canard?

The Tipping Point
I've just finished Malcolm Gladwell's "The Tipping Point", and frankly it was fascinating, and in many ways it was a much better read and a much more proactive approach to memetics and thought contagion than any of the other books I've read on the subject. Has anyone else read it? Are there any good critiques you know of?
