Hudson Best Book of 2008!
Exciting news! The Unthinkable has been chosen by Hudson Booksellers as one of the best books published in 2008.
Honestly, it is just a ridiculous thrill to be on any list with the 8 other nonfiction books Hudson selected. Check it: The Animal Dialogues by Craig Childs, Hot, Flat & Crowded by Thomas Friedman, The Ayatollah Begs to Differ by Hooman Majd, Out of Mao’s Shadow by Philip P. Pan, In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan, Beautiful Boy by David Sheff, The Way of the World by Ron Suskind, and The Post-American World by Fareed Zakaria. See what I’m saying?
Also a shout out to my colleague and friend at Time, Jeff Kluger, whose smart, fabulous book, Simplexity, was chosen in the business category. You should now be able to find both our books at Hudson’s 400 newsstands in airports and train stations around the country.

Congratulations. About 4 hours ago, I finished reading your book and I think it was one of the best I have read in awhile. In fact, I used a small excerpt from the book in my blog- and I wanted to check with you if it is okay. If not, I can summarize it. I am not sure what the rules are and I certainly do not want to take any potential reader away from reading ( and buying) your book.

Congrats! i think that your book was the best one i have read in quite a while! it was interesting and funny as well as incredibly insightful. it should be required reading for anyone that drives a car, rides on an airplane, or lives in an area that is disaster prone. Thank you for writing this much needed book!
