I haven't posted since earlier this week but that's because I've been swamped with work and school but I have managed to start a new book (even if it was only 5 pages before I fell asleep last night).
I decided that since I could tell people now that I was 2/3 of the way done with my MBA, that saying so while reading "Pretty little liars" or "Sookie Stackhouse" books maybe wasn't the best way to represent myself LOL....so as much as I love my CW TV show books and my other vampire novels :)
I decided it was time to read a more grown up book...at least one. So I downloaded Freakonimics for my Kindle.
The book is based on four fundamental ideas:
- 1) Incentives are the cornerstone of modern life.
- 2) Conventional wisdom is often wrong.
- 3) Dramatic effects often have distant, even subtle, causes.
- 4) “Experts” use their informational advantage to serve their own interests.
Chapter 1: What Do Schoolteachers and Sumo Wrestlers Have in Common?
Chapter 2: How is the Ku Klux Klan like a Group of Real-Estate Agents?
Chapter 3: Why Do Drug Dealers Still Live with Their Moms? and many others it's sure to be an interesting, and intellectual book....
I'll be sure to provide my full review when I finish it-What are you reading?
