- onebaddude 13y agoNo idea. I've asked the same question; I've read all of Gladwell's books (and essays on his site). I've enjoyed almost everything he writes. He's great at telling pop-sci stories. Most can be read in a sitting or two. Sometimes it's nice for your non-fiction to not read like a textbook. But, apparently the HN crowd only reads Shakespeare, Dostoevsky and Hemingway.
