(and that is good praise coming from someone who once worked in publishing and dealt with book reviews on and off). You also impress me with how much you have read...if only i could read faster... but i'm a snail...alas! xxxThe Curious Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16920550974303475865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-48067618674563007162010-11-01T11:50:51.962+00:002010-11-01T11:50:51.962+00:00Hmm, maybe I should pick up Superfreakonomics. I e...Hmm, maybe I should pick up Superfreakonomics. I enjoyed the first book but felt that he really only had the drug dealer data to make it anything out of the ordinary and that the other chapters were less interesting. Also I struggled to get over the fact that the author was clearly such an arrogant obnoxious tw*t. Actually, I've talked myself out of it. Bother. I'm going to have to stick with The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet which is the most tedious book I've ever ever stuck with.

I know I've read one of her books already but don't know if it's this one or the Riverton book - probably not a good sign that I don't remember it enough to know which one it is! Ah well, I'll give it a read anyway.<br /><br />Freakonomics is also on the to-read pile. Anything by Marina Lewycka definitely won't be though! I HATED Tractors - dear god, what a tedious read it was.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337968500120821387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-37040255346761550182010-10-31T15:41:08.301+00:002010-10-31T15:41:08.301+00:00I've not read any of the above but I do have K...I've not read any of the above but I do have Kate Mortons 'The House at Riverton' on my to read pile.<br />I've just fineshed 'The Help' by Kathryn Stockett, which I loved have you read it??<br />Em xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-36952784763337965112010-10-31T09:54:25.437+00:002010-10-31T09:54:25.437+00:00I liked Superfreakonomics, but Freakonomics was be...I liked Superfreakonomics, but Freakonomics was better.
