Has anyone read the book "Freakanomics"

[sgreger1]

I recall reading a chapter of it several years ago and it seemed intiresting, but I was wondering if anyone here has read it and if you thought it was worth the money. Also, has anyone read SuperFreakanomics?


Any other cool books you want to recommend are also welcome.

Aww man they only sell used copies. I am trying to get something in audiobook form

The only thing with the Raelians is that they claim that et's had some steak in creating or altering life in our planet (which I could accept), but then they say that their technology is only 25,000 years old, when we know that life started much (much much much) longer before then.

I've read freakonomics, It's a good quick reed that gives you some different perspectives on how things can be looked at in many different ways. Worth the read I say. Didn't know about superfreak. gonna have to check it out.....

Edit- I think I borrowed it to a buddy, but if i find it I'll send it your way sgreger....

Also another decent read i've been working on in the John for awhile is
UNEQUAL PROTCTION THE RISE OF CORPORATE DOMINANCE AN THE THEFT OF HUMAN RIGHTS BY Thom Hartmann
