Did anyone read “Blank Space” by W. David Marx? I was looking forward to reading it and, now that I've finished, the feeling is “meh”. I agree with his central thesis, but I was expecting more insights, like in the author’s previous work “Status and Culture”. What do you think? #booksky #nonfiction

Blank Space landed the thesis but felt light on fresh insights, and Status and Culture set a high bar. Follow ups are tough to write, still cool seeing how ideas evolve across books.
