If you happen to listen to NPR’s “Weekend Edition” with Scott Simon, you will hear Steve Levitt discussing Freakonomics this Sat., April 9. (Click here to find the time and station in your area.) Simon himself has a new book out soon, Pretty Birds; we haven’t read it yet but if it is half as good as his 2000 memoir Home and Away (the sharp musings of a Chicago sports fan, with trenchant commentary on Michael Jordan), it will be very good.
