I’m using Malcolm Gladwell’s book Outliers in my large Introduction to Sociology class this semester and the students love it. One freshman even asked his parents to buy him other books written by Gladwell for his birthday. Gladwell discusses many sociological concepts and refers to sociological theorists so the book is an excellent supplement to a sociology text. Its contents have also helped facillitate many interesting discussions. All in all the book is informative, entertaining and accessible to freshmen.
