Picked it up in Vancouver about a month ago and read through it in couple of days. - Great Book! Steven Levitt is blending sociology and economics in remarkable ways to answer questions you woudn equate with Econ. The The case studies are pretty remarkable, but the real value is in walking you thrugh showing you the value of critical thought.
My favorite bit is how he defines economics. See, my B.S. is in Economics, but I sell software for a living, and that has been an issue in interviews - What's a Economist doing in Sales? Economics is the science of motivation.
