Reading to Learn About Spanish Culture

What a great way to combine math and reading comprehension-- go figure ₊^/

^{"Statistically, reading is a good bet."}

  ^{James Jacobs}

^{"An innate gift and a certain amount of intelligence are important,}

^{but what really pays is ordinary experience."}

 ^{Malcolm Gladwell} 

"Outliers was an interesting book that gave great insight on the statistics of successful people. I enjoyed reading Outliers and I thought it was well written."--Meghan Gerry

"The book Outliers was an interesting collection of statistical situations involving different things such as hockey player scores, why Asians are so smart, and others."--Richard Wynne

"The book Outliers is a well thought out book. The author, Malcom Gladwell, does a great job of describing how people today have been able to achieve greatness. I have a firm idea now that not only does success require hard work but chance to be able to take advantage of hard work. It is a great book."--Micah Dempsey

"I felt that Malcom Gladwell's book Outliers was very well written.  However, I didn't agree with everything he wrote since he left a lot up to chance. Just because someone wasn't born at a certain time with certain circumstances doesn't mean they can't excel at things."                         --Sherly Jones

"The book is an interesting read for any statistics gurus. The book raises conclusions to mysteries that wouldn't normally be considered. I enjoyed the fast read and would definitely recommend reading."--Laura Lane
