Malcolm Gladwell, he also wrote the Tipping Point also a good book

Blink- deals with split second reaction and thinking

Tipping Point deals with how little things become big or huge trends or epidemics in some cases

I didn't start reading until very recently. My book collection is only 23 various texts.

Truthfully, some of them I haven't finished -- The Fountainhead, for example, is something I've never finished reading. I also haven't read much into my Aristotle book. I have some Chomsky books to read, but the more I read them the more I hate my country, so I'm gonna hold off on them.

How many pages is it? I can blow through a book in a day on a greyhound to Dallas and back if it's within 250-300 pages.
