Think

Its probably the best book I have read in the last six months. Some of his conclusions were amazing.

I also really like the "The tipping point" by Malcolm Glazer ("Blink" was good too)

I've read both. Picked em up at Costco and finished them fairly quickly. Freakonomics was cool for what it was. The chapter on names was by far the most interesting. It made me rethink a few of the names I have floated in my head for future offspring.

Tipping Point was cool too, but I didn't come away with any real conclusions or how I could have an uncanny knack of knowing when tennis players are going to double fault before their serve myself.
