  Tuesday, the 28th of February at 7:30. Even if you can't make it at 7:30 and need to come a bit later, please know that you are still welcome!
  
  The book chosen is a little different as well... it is by well-known author Malcolm Gladwell and is non-fiction.  It is called The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference.  His previous books, The Outlier and Blink were best-sellers and page turners.  Reviews suggest that this one is also a page-turner and is bound to ignite a good discussion!
  
  Here is the description from Amazon:  The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.
  
  Hope you can make and Happy Reading!
