Title: Freakanomics
Post by: Pugnate on Monday, June 07, 2010, 12:28:56 PM

So I just finished the book. Very entertaining, and thought provoking even.

The guy Levitt, is like the Sherlock Holmes of statistics. One of the best books I've read in many years.

They have a blog on nytimes which I read every now and then. I haven't read any of the books but I remember a pretty huge uproar when their most recent one came out because they had all sorts of facts on global warming wrong.
