I listened to a few interviews with the author talking about the book. It seemed pretty interesting and I have been meaning to pick it up.

That's great reading. I think I found another book to buy.

That does look real interesting - what'd you like about it Dim? I think I'll pick up a copy too.

interesting info but not as techinical as i would like. admittedly, i only briefly perused it.

size is right, he dumbed it down a bit more than I would have liked, but it is a 2 day read...quick and interesting.

BigPop,
I like to see people thinking outside of the simple causal relationship box. I would like to see more of his ideas backed up in text, but he does provide refferences to studies in the index. I have a feeling there is another book on the way soon from these guys, and I look forward to reading it as well.

I finished freakonomics yesterday, yes it was dumbed down a bit but I still thought it was good.

My next read "Empire of Debt : The Rise Of An Epic Financial Crisis"

I've been thinking about reading it.

Anyone around here read Blink? Now that's a good book.
