I’m back! Just returned from two weeks holiday in France - and as usual for my holiday I took a pile of books to read while I was away. I’ll post some words about each of em - and you can see what kind of strangeness I’ve been reading:

Freakonomics by Levitt/Dubner

So much hype around this one - a new way of looking at the world, by numbers. I found it quite close to may way of thinking about things and how they are quite often linked by the ’simple economics’ of the world. Some of the examples were brilliant - comparing the decline of crime in the US with the legalisation of abortion. I enjoyed this because of the simplicity to the explanations, and the good definition of causality vs correlation. Should be required reading for politicians.
