My first Malcolm Gladwell book was “blink”, which I found very interresting; if you liked Outliers and the Tipping Point, you should probably check out “Blink” if you haven’t read it already.

I got to Outliers from Freakonomics, since they are in the same genre. The library had Tipping Point, I've got to wait on Blink. I don't agree with all of Gladwell’s conclusions but his research and storytelling are very good. My 14 year old son is reading Outliers right now and wants to read Freakonomics next. If you can find something that gets a teenage boy to read nonfiction go with it. We've discussed each chapter as he's finished them, so it's been good parent time, too.
