The book Chloe was reading when Jimmy walked in . . .

[A_Chloe.S._Fan]

I paused Smallville when Chloe had the book lying flat so you could see the title. The book is called "The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference" by Malcom Gladwell. I've never read the book before, but I looked it up and it said how the book is about our reactions when we've reached our "tipping point" or when we can't take anymore. It also talks about the world and how we live.

I'm probably just being stupid, but it seemed like something both AM and Chloe would read. I bet it's her book in real life. :)

[ginnyfan]

Ooooh. Yum! Thanks for this bit of trivia. I'm gonna check it out.

[AndiGirl]

Maybe it's one of the things the writers did on purpose..just a subtle que. That Chloe is having a hard time, and is at a tipping point?

Good catch though!!! :)

[Humdinger]

Yep, it was a good catch, thanks. Think it relates to her character or real life, since she's not signed for S8 yet?

[Eri-El]

It does seem like a book AM may read in real life.

[Welling_is_pretty]

I was wondering what Chloe was reading but couldn't make out the title. Thanks for spotting it.

And yeah, I do think that was a subtle thing (like back when Clark used to read books in the Loft and the Talon and they tied into the storyline).

[Eri-El]

I may check it out too.....

OK I just got back from Borders, and I found the book. It's not what I thought it was going to be about. The title IMO is a little misleading. It was kinda like about epidemics and reasons why trends happen and such. I thought it was going to be more along the lines of what "The Secret" was about, positive thinking and stuff.

that's 2 bad. i thought it would be more about philosophy and how we handle ourselves. hmph! the barnes & noble summary lied! oh well. i guess it could still be a book that chloe/allison would read. :)

That's right, Clark used to read BOOKS! I don't think his brain could do that anymore. He dumb.:p

[A_Chloe.S._Fan]

^^^ lol :-) ya, i haven't seen him read since season 2.

Hmm, now that I think of I can't remember Clark reading since Season 2 either! (a book, that is.) Anyone else know different?

[ginnyfan]

Does Swann's diary count? :p

[Jill]

Yeah I noticed that too...
Good observation :D

[chlo-el]

Yeah, I think any prop like a book would be on purpose to show more about the character and what the character was going through. This seems very relvent in what chloe is going though she had to deal with so much this past season.

"The Tipping Point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire" - from the back cover.

Perhaps it's a hint that Clark will accept the idea that he is Superman, and it will spread like wildfire. :)

I noticed the title of the book she was reading as well. I'm glad to see it wasn't something political. I think the title simply reflects the plot line, especially in regards to the Lex character and also of Clark reaching his.

One of the things I like best about this show is the absence of politics - I'm so tired of shows that are constantly making such overtly blatant political statements with their shows. I find it insulting, especially when they make no attempt to present both sides in a fair-minded way.

Ne1 know what the book is about?

Oh yes, I definitely agree.
