I'll take a look at Gladwell's stuff. I agree that <i>Freakanomics</i> bogs down near the end... I remember skimming a lot of the final pages. Thanks for the recommendation.

Freakonomics bogs down near the end with the analysis of the schools i thought. Also freakonomics, self admittedly, has no real overarching theme. Gladwell ties together his cool lil stories and makes a better point than just a bland "open up your eyes" kind of thing. you can preview what gladwell has to offer at http://www.gladwell.com/archive.html....
