Freakonomics

Those of you who missed Steven Levitt's ACS-sponsored talk at the law school missed one of the best events of the year. He is freaking awesome.

So is his new book, Freakonomics. I could go on about how smart and unconventional it is, but do yourself a favor and pick up a copy. I will say that I wish it were a bit longer and heavier on economics. Still, especially if you haven't encountered his ideas before, it's definitely worth a read.
