I Been Workin' On it From the Start

In a return to action for one of my favorite writers, Malcolm Gladwell has a piece in this week's New Yorker regarding the work of criminal profilers. Perhaps the term "criminal profilers" is redundant due to the strong likelihood that people never use the term "profiler" outside of the criminal context, but I digress.
Gladwell has also recently stated that he is currently working on his 3rd book, which is highly anticipated due to the widespread acclaim that greeted The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference and Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking. In my mind, Gladwell's true appeal lies in his ability to take seemingly disparate, dense subject matter and distill it in an inherently enjoyable fashion that is also accessible to those of us who do not happen to possess MBAs from Harvard or a PhD in psychology from Johns Hopkins.
