Non-fiction spotlight : Malcolm Gladwell

Ever meet a couple that are dating and get a feeling that they won’t last? Turns out, most of the time your right. Malcolm Gladwell explores this, as well as other split second decisions that we make in Blink (of an eye.) His other books The Tipping Point (just why did some fads catch on?) and Outliers (did you know most hockey players are born between January and April?) are all on the best seller lists and make you look at the most common things in a different way. The language in the books is easily understandable, with examples taken from real life to help the reader relate to the book. One of the other good things about the books is that you can skip over chapters that are less interesting to you, as most chapters are independent of each other.
