Reading on the Ave Book Club: Outliers

All are welcome to attend the Reading on the Avenue Book Club, which meets in the Community Room of Willow Glen Library. On Wednesday, June 27, we'll be discussing Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell.

In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers" - the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different?

His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Brilliant and entertaining, Outliers is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.
