Daisy Miller:
Reason to Swipe Right: She loves to flirt in an 1870’s kind of way but inside she is as pure as freshly fallen snow.
Why You Might Want to Swipe Left: You would never know it from the phrases she utters like, “I have never allowed a gentleman to dictate to me, or to interfere with anything I do.” And: “Oh my gosh, I just got Roman Fever from staying out after dark with a man at the Colosseum, I’m prob’ly going to die in a few days.”

Malcolm Gladwell
Reason to Swipe Right: He popularized that the idea that if you do anything for 10,000 hours you become an expert, so hopefully he extends that belief to all areas of his life.
Why You Might Want to Swipe Left: If you rave about him to your most know-it-all friends, they will tell you that he is reductive. They will say he is not academic but a journalist and he had no place popularizing the over-simplified generalizations that he makes. They will recommend that you spend more time reading The New Republic.
