admit it, you're reading it cause it said its "lucid" on the cover :p |
:stongue:
that's just an added bonus! i didn't even know about that when i ordered the book.
i've noticed the word "lucid" is used very often in book reviews of non-fiction books that are written in more beautiful prose than your average non-fiction dry and boring textbook. |

I'm at the part where he slips on a banana peel, the symbology is really deep. I struggled with the part where he was in the Things That Can Tickle You Room because even though Grover was laughing I think deep down he was sad due to his childhood. Way to go IGK. |

So many responses just flooded through my head
that I can only type this one, I hope it is read.
Whilst that paradox dazzles your mighty brain
off to get more vodka, from which I cannot abstain! |

It's pretty good, however written rather plainly. My only main problem with it is how the author(s) like to focus on "how revolutionary" Levitt's ways of economic reasoning are. I mean, seriously, every chapter starts with some excerpt from some article about who Levitt is, how he thinks, why he deduces what he does, and why it's so astonishing. I'd prefer they let the book speak for itself.
On the whole it raises some spiffy questions and provides neat scenarios. |
