Oh look! Book #4!

Do you know who William Dawes is?

This is one of those books where you pick it up and get into it and discover that it is indeed, not at all the thing that you thought it was. As it were, I kept going.

The Tipping Point by Malcom Gladwell is a rather interesting, scientifically written book about the issue of epidemics - virus, communication, social, fashion, and the types of personalities within our cultures who help to shape the behaviors of the main groups of people. Turns out we aren't as independent as we'd thought...

I like the analogies that he uses throughout the book to illustrate his points and ideas more clearly... I learned alot.

By the way - William Dawes is the guy who made a ride at the same time, on the same night, in a different route as Paul Revere. But it was Paul Revere's personality, social connections, and charisma that made all the difference in the world. But then, if you read the Tipping Point, you'd know that.
