Reviewing the book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain.
I liked this book, and why not -- an in-depth defense of people like me! Although I confess, I never thought that introverts would need to be explained to extroverts. I thought we were self-evident, and it was the other, noisy, dominant half of the world that was inexplicable. (They still are.) It possibly needs a companion volume -- Noisy: the hegemony of people with nothing helpful to say who still won't shut up, or something.

I've had this one on hold at the library for some time -- I'm up to being #121 on the list of 112 copies, so I'm getting there.
