Finger Lickin Fifteen - Janet Evanovich

This is the same old same old Evanovich. Stephanie finds her self covered in paint twice and flower once. Her apartment is destroyed more than once. No fewer than three cars are destroyed.

Damned Lies and Statistics - Joel Best

I was already cynical. This didn't help. Basically the argument is there is a lot of gray in how statistics are collected, presented and understood. If you want to be well informed you need to ask more questions. Only 171 pages but with the ability to rock your world. Much more reader friendly than your typical academic fare.
