Freakonomics!

Absolutely amazing book! This most cerainly is not a book review but juz my way of appreciating how simply and logically questions like "Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? How much do parents really matter? What kind of impact did Roe v. Wade have on violent crime?" have been answered!!

Its like common sense, but you juz dint see it for urself! I have only taken Economics as a subject for one semester in Uni. I kinda appreciated its flow of logical thinking and evaluation but hated the maths and numerous charts. So this book is totally for an idiot like me! :P

And most certainly not forgetting their blog. Read it at http://www.freakonomics.com/blog/. Amazing stuff!!
