Just finished Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner.

Really interesting stuff, and a great read.

From it's wiki:
Chapter 1: Discovering cheating as applied to teachers and sumo wrestlers (See below)
Chapter 2: Information control as applied to the Ku Klux Klan and real-estate agents
Chapter 3: The economics of drug dealing, including the surprisingly low earnings and abject working conditions of crack cocaine dealers
Chapter 4: The controversial role legalized abortion has played in reducing crime. (Levitt explored this topic in an earlier paper entitled "The Impact of Legalized Abortion on Crime.")
Chapter 5: The negligible effects of good parenting on education
Chapter 6: The socioeconomic patterns of naming children

As of now, I'm reading Talent is Overrated by Geoff Colvin - which basically explores what separates world class performers from everyone else.

I just finished reading Scar Tissue, by the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Anthony Keidis. It was a really good interesting book about his life...pretty much about drugs and sex and more drugs and rehab then soberness then drugs and rehab again.
