Types of Reading

Some types of reading that I come across everyday are casual and formal writing. I consider casual to be facebook and texts for example. I view formal writing as emailing a professor or reading a text book. I use this type of reading every moment I am awake until I go to sleep at night and do it all over again the next day. Gladwell has a very specific type of writing style that I do not come across often. He combines casual language with formal language. One moment he can be talking about a memory he has and another moment a statistic on a major world topic. I do not read this kind of writing often, as I do not have as much time with school work and my other obligations, to do pleasure reading. Reading this book is less of a requirement and more of a delight.
