Freakonomics

Finally finished the book Freakonomics (obtained from paperbackswap), largely read in small chunks while I'm waiting for Kimo to finish eating.

Pretty interesting. The main takeaway is that "experts" are not always right.

At the end are a few Freakonomics articles taken from the New York Times. I wonder if these (and others) are accessible over the internet? Sure 'nuff. However the last one appeared in 2008.

They also have a blog, which I guess kind of continues the New York Times columns.

And a movie too, which gets mediocre reviews at amazon.com

Maybe I'll get Super Freakonomics too. But I guess I should finish Malcolm Gladwell's Blink first.

[6/27/14]  And now I saw at Costco, they have a new book out, Think Like A Freak.  But I think I should get Super Freakonomics first.
