other than its nonfiction. I figured you guys thought I sat around reading sean hannity and anne coulter or something!
Im actually not in love with it so far. Like i mentioned earlier it gets you to think in other ways which is very important, and Ive always thought the world revolves around incentives, which is the books central theme. But there is too much fluff. The ku klux klan thing was a huge segment and had very little point applicable to anything.
The abortion thing blew my mind but he dragged it out too long too.
