<p>write ur thoughts about the book and how far r u in the book</p>
<p>no one reads the book …</p>
<p>I haven’t even started reading the book. </p>
<p>Do I really, REALLY have to?</p>
<p>Well, from the cover it doesn’t look too thrilling.</p>
<p>You do not have to read the book</p>
<p>OK I think I’m going to be doing some Orientation stuff on this, and the gist of the book is basically, stuff gets done better in groups or something (which I don’t think is always necessarily true).</p>
<p>well the theme of the novel is that the average group is smarter than the elite experts. For examply a crowd was able to guess the pounds of a dead ox than the expets. THen it goes off into what a group need which is decentrilization, diversity, complete independence, and large groups of people. This theory at first seemed understandable but i still think ann elite expert are more intelligent.</p>
<p>There is literally no reason to read the book, unless it’s just for your own enjoyment</p>
<p>I read the majority of the book… I find it interesting… but then again, I enjoy crowds and whatnot, so it’s cool to read some of the examples they give. However, the book pretty much repeats itself over and over and over and over again.</p>
<p>yea i agree it is really kind of redundant</p>
<p>So let me get this right. You don’t have to read the book, but if you do you can enter an essay contest to win money for books. </p>
<p>Basics:
No evaluation
Not necessary unless you want to win the contest
Sounds good. :)</p>
<p>No, you don’t have to read the book. Enjoy the rest of summer, and get excited for freshman fall!</p>
