| 2. |  | Blink
from Penguin
Customer Review:
There are some relevant points in this book. The main point that I gathered from this reading is that our unconscious does some of the thinking for us, and decisions relating to this thinking are some of the best. However, if people were to think why they made these decisions, then they might not... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 3. |  | Freakonomics - A Rogue Economist Explores The Hidden Side Of Everything, Revised and Expanded Edition
from William Morrow
Customer Review:
Freakonomics' strongest asset is its blunt force mauling of conventional wisdom and the often unveering faith that journalists, experts and ordinary folks pay it, often only to serve (sadly) their own interests. When that is the authors' approach they deliver sound arguments. That, thankfully, is... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Simon & Schuster Audio
Price: $19.79
Customer Review:
I think that Sarah Vowell's writing is creative, witting and fascinating. Up until now, I have enjoyed everything written by Sarah Vowell and always look forward to her new books. But I wasn't quite as enthralled with The Wordy Shipmates. Maybe it's me, but I just couldn't get myself as stirred up... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from William Morrow
Price: $17.79
Customer Review:
Very Interesting book - but in my opinion, I was not prepared for all the sorrow in people. I had heard of the book and my daughter (17) wanted to read it, but after reviewing the book myself, I decided I could not give it to her. As a parent, I try to keep the gloom from her life as much as... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from William Morrow
Price: $19.11
Customer Review:
Fascinating! Post cards anonymously sent in to author re: peoples' true life secrets. Because each and every one of us has a life secret, we could each send in a postcard for this, or the next, book. It's a "pick-up" book, good for 5 minutes of reading or 30. | 4.5 / 5.0

from Ecco
Price: $23.07
Customer Review:
This is the first Lennon bio I've read (unless you want to count Shout!, but that included those 3 other guys...). Norman did a good job showing the good and bad. The man was no saint, but are any of us? Sorry, Yoko, but Norman was not "mean to John". If anything, for the first time ever, I actaully... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

from Pocket Books
Price: $21.45
Customer Review:
I found myself at Barnes & Noble today, as I do on most Sundays, just browsing. I headed over to the "music" section to see if they had any good instructional books for guitar or piano. I saw the cover for "The Heroin Diaries" and remembered a friend had mentioned it about a year ago. I picked... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
