BLINK! Meets Feb. 23, at 7 am

BLINK will be the book when we meet on Tuesday, February 24 at 7 am in the Media Center.
What is it about?
Malcolm Gladwell explains:
"It's a book about rapid cognition, about the kind of thinking that happens in a blink of an eye. When you meet someone for the first time, or walk into a house you are thinking of buying, or read the first few sentences of a book, your mind takes about two seconds to jump to a series of conclusions. Well, "Blink" is a book about those two seconds, because I think those instant conclusions that we reach are really powerful and really important and, occasionally, really good."
