If you're interested in an interesting read about the correlation of random things, I suggest you read "Freakonomics," by Steven D. Levitt. He's an Economist from Harvard and MIT, but this book is more than just economics. I can't really describe what kind of category this book falls under, because it doesn't really follow one.

I got this for x-mas, I was excited because I've been hearing good things.

And you should me...the connections that he makes are subtle at first, but they all kinda tie in mid-chapter.

I'm planning on buying this book after I picked it up and started reading it at a friends house. I found the writers combining of legal abortions and a drop in crime interestingly hillarious. | |

Hilarious in the sense that it could be true... "True literacy is becoming an arcane art and the United States is steadily dumbing down." --Issac Asimov | |
