This book doesn't look or sound so incredibly fascinating, but it really is very well-written and includes tons of funny and engaging info. Steven Levitt debunks a lot of conventional wisdom and really makes you reconsider some of those things you always considered "facts". As a statistician by training, I love the use of data to show that correlation frequently does not imply causation. I especially enjoyed the chapters on crime and crime rates, and also on people's names.

If you aren't familiar with Bookcrossing, take a few minutes to check out this very cool site. Bookcrossers LOVE books, and more than anything, they love to read books and then set them free for other people to find and enjoy. I would love it if you would leave a journal entry -- you can say where you found the book or how you liked it when you read it. Then, when you are ready, pass it along for someone else to enjoy! Thanks and happy reading!
