IRB Intro #2: Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything

The book I chose to read for my second IRB is Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything.  I decided to read this book because Ashley Choi recommended it to me. This book is composed of short non-fiction articles on economics. I have a feeling that the style of this book will be similar to that of Eats, Shoots and Leaves. I think it will be interesting to read what the author thinks about the issues he addresses in the book.
