I'm in the middle of reading it but I think it's such an interesting book. Has reading it changed your perception on any of the issues it discusses?

The big thing about chicago schoolteachers and cheating really opened my eyes to cheating patterns, I loved the stuff about real estate agents and the KKK. But the stuff about drugdealers was the most incredible. And although the stuff about names and where they go was sort of interesting and I understood it, it got real boring real fast.

It's a great book. And no, it did not change my perceptions; if one didn't sleep through econ classes in college, one probably would know most of this stuff before one opened the book...

it was great.
it was interesting to see economics where there was data analysis, leading to conclusions. the one class i took in econ in college seemed to be full of the conventional wisdom - nothing about doing reliable research.
