‘Tipping Point' a worthwhile book to read

At the beginning of the 21st century in the non-fiction category, Malcolm Gladwell's “The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference” should be in the top three books on anyone's reading list (along with Thomas Friedman's “The World Is Flat” and Stephen D. Levitt's “Freakonomics”).

Starting tonight and continuing into next month, the small but powerful book is the centerpiece of the Cayuga Reads Program.

Led by Seymour Library and incorporating other partners, including the Auburn Enlarged School District and Cayuga Community College, Cayuga Reads is a community-wide collaboration. The premise, done across the nation with different books, is to have whole communities read a book that is easily accessible (in this case it is not only available in paperback at $14.95, but can be picked up for loan at Seymour Library) and have the community make it the focus of discussions.
