Maybe the fact that you knew everything before was the reason that you don't like the reading, but I didn't. ) Heh)

This time I'm afraid I do not share your opinion on Freakonomics. Unfortunately, I didn't find any new ideas, it was just very long explanaitions of known facts for me. What I wanted from the author - to be 3 times quicker in explaining his views. Moreover, the cases mentioned in this book - cheating teachers, criminals, sumo wrestlers etc. have nothing in common with me, so, maybe that's the main issue... What did you like about it?
