Freakonomics

While on vacation I read two GREAT books. One was a novel by Anna Quindlin about a woman who leaves her abusive husband and takes her 10-year old son into hiding with her. The other was a book that I happened to see just sitting on a "Bestsellers" table in the library. It's called Freakonomics -- here's the link to the website. I could probably write several paragraphs about how fun this book is, but if you're interested just go to the website and read some of the excerpts. Basically Steven D. Levitt is an economists, whose particular skill seems to be to debunk conventional wisdom. I had a blast reading it!
