IRB Intro #2

For my second IRB book, I will be reading Freakonomics by Stephen J Dubner and Steven Levitt. Dubner, an economist teamed up with Levitt, a famous journalist and author, to create the book. The book is written based on what they describe as "the hidden side of everything." The book focuses on why things happen, why people make decisions they do, and how things are or are not connected. I think I will enjoy this book because it offers a new way of viewing life. I really like reading about different interpretations people have and discovering ideas I never would have found on my own. The book was a New York Times Best Seller, and was even turned into a movie. I know many people who read this book last year for IRB, and they loved it. I think it will be a great choice.
