i have members -- memories of my father and father brown and agatha christie. i must have read 50 agatha christie books by the time i was 10 so that is my home form but what do you do if you love mr. stories? he writes some kind of facsimil- nonfiction ministries but the minute i think i can write dialogue i am gone. [laughter] >> the was at a struggle in writing outliers where you say you made an effort or you made a conscious effort to concentrate more on people as opposed to the experiments or the social experiments or psychological experiments that were in the tipping point? was that harder? bea, i wanted to stop being -- i wanted my writing to be a little less chile and so i had made a conscious effort partly actually from reading people like david and being so taken by his writing and thinking i should go in that direction as well. i made a conscious effort to write more about people and their stories as opposed to kind of theories and their theoreticians. >> it is divided and very similar ways to david's "what the dog saw" "the devil and sherlock holmes"
