Gladwell fascinates me, and should fascinate anyone who takes a run at this pundit thing. The Tipping Point, for example, was a facile rehash of work done in the early '60s on diffusion theory. But... he is a genius at packaging this stuff and making it accessible, leaving you feeling smarter than you were at the beginning of the book without making you feel stupid when you started reading. And he has the best physical branding of anyone in the game. These days, content counts for nothing if you don't have the vessel right.
