Freakonomics
I just started probably one of the greatest books I have ever read in my life so far. This book is called Freakonomics by Steve D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. Freakonomics is non fiction... but is one of the only non fiction reads I have ever read that has intrigued my mind to keep reading more. It's basically an economists point of view on everything. They make you really think about the meanings of things and the hidden sides of things. For example, it talks about how it's not only students cheating in school but also the teachers. It talks about how maybe some teachers help out students a little too much to succeed because sometimes their pay is based on how well the students are doing.It also talks about how polititions winning elections may not because of all of the money being spent and the amount of money they put into it like most believe, but may be because of other reasons that are much more complex. This book makes your mind want to keep reading more and gives you very interesting facts about things to keep you from shutting the book. It's not the easiest reading but definitely isn't the hardest. This book is honestly for anyone because it has no one theme in it.
