Tuesdays with Morrie By Mitch Albom 

             After discovering his college professor,Morrie,was dying,author Mitch Albom spent fourteen Tuesday afternoons with him learning life's lessons. Many people have found inspiration in the dying man's last words on aging,family,marriage,and culture,to name a few. Yet,those who have done a lot of soul-searching of their own might not find self-help books very necessary. Nevertheless,with our busy lives,it is always good to be reminded of the things that are most important in life. Overall,Tuesdays with Morrie is a quick read with a long-lasting impact.

The Tipping Point By Malcolm Gladwell 

              My sister is a marketing major,and she lent me this book. At first it seemed pretty technical — I know nothing about marketing — but I finally got the message. Gladwell explains that ideas spread through society much like viruses do. He also says that certain people are naturally effective communicators who help spread these ideas. And,if the situation is right for an idea to spread, sometimes a small change can then cause it to spread like wildfire. He illustrates(阐述) his point with convincing examples of successful ideas that have changed the world.

                                         —Kate Howson,Manchester
