While reading a post from Anne Davis, I got turned on to the blog from the authors of Freakonomics.  If you haven’t read the book, I highly reccomend it.  Fascinating peek at today’s world in ways you would never ordinarily consider.  It’s a quick read too, like reading a magazine.

Appearantly, quite a few colleges are using it as part of their curriculum now.  What’s interesting though is that Harper Collins commissioned somebody to create a study guide to go along with the book, both teacher’s and student’s editions.  The cost?  Free.  Obviously they’re hoping that if you use the study guide, you’ll buy a bunch of copies of the book, but ulterior motives aside, it’s still pretty darn cool.  Both are downloadable, but you do need to register at the site to get the teachers edition.
