Comparting and Contrasting

When I read a book, I want that book to make me never want to stop reading it. It can be any genre as long as it keeps me interested. The author Sarah Dessen has published numerous books (fiction) that I've read in a period of 2 days because I'm so hooked on them. I feel like I'm actually a part of the book it grabs my attention mentally and emotionally.
With Gladwell's book and the chapters we've read so far, I would say that I'm hooked on it. When reading the Intro and Chapter 1 I was interested in what was being talked about. Everything with epidemics and the tipping points of those epidemics, and especially with Chapter 2 and the Connectors. I got a bit of a chuckle out of that and really got into it because it was talked about how they "know everyone". I would resemble myself to a Connector because my friends are always commenting on how I know everyone. Everytime I'm out somewhere I always run into someone I know. As the book said, life is about your connections, and I believe that 100%. You never know who you know that knows someone that can help get your foot in the door.
