YOU TOTALLY DO. The book is a collection of articles he wrote for the New Yorker so it's basically a money grab but he's so interesting I don't even care. He can grab all the money he wants.

One of the articles is about why there is only Heinz but there are a lot of different kinds of mustard. I swear it's more interesting that it sounds. Though admittedly not a whole lot; I think the other articles are far more interesting.

I love him. So far, I'm liking this one a lot. More than Outliers, definitely, though I think Blink remains my favorite. He definitely makes you think and I trust what he says because a professor told us during lecture that he uses "very good science." I remember the exact quote, yes. heh. It made me happy.
