Books

Bought a few books recently:
  1. Being and Nothingness by Jean Paul Sartre: It has been a while since I read any work on existentialism.
  2. Freakanomics by Levitt and Dubner: I bought this book for 2 reasons. 1) I was intrigued by a PBS program on Levitt and 2) the book seems to take a humane (psychological?) approach to economics.
Unfortunately, this purchase increases my yet-to-be-read-book count. But, the joy of holding a new book, smelling the fresh print and just thumbing through it can't be beat.
