A good behavior like quitting smoking or a bad one like obesity can both be idea/behaviors that spread. - You are likely to behavior similar to those around you and you are likely to surround yourself with those that are like you. True to some extent, but I'd like to think it isn't as true as the author seems to think. - He is much to preoccupied with the connected networks of sexual activity and the spread of sexually transmitted disease. Using the example for a chapter is plenty. He doesn't need to bring every chapter back to it. If that is his attempt at finding connection between the chapters of the book it is a poor one. -- Not halfway, but becoming bored. Got about two-thirds of the way, but didn't finish this one. Similar to Freakeconomics and books of that nature, but not as well done. Disappointed. "
