Freakonomics

Stephen J. Dubner


Notes:

Missed this the first time around, so was please to get this second edition for xmas. A largely engaging and thought-provoking read, that rambled at a few points. I've certainly thought more about interesting applications for economics since reading it.

Michael E. Gerber


Notes:

Certainly not the best written book or the most challenging, however, it really helped me better understand some of the traps I've fallen into while setting up my business and hopefully will prevent me from falling into more serious ones in the future.

Not sure this was as good as the hype suggested, although I didn't finish it because I got bored :)
