Ooooh I remember reading "Lies My Teacher Told Me..." back in high school. I'm trying to get this book. I think I'll go ahead and buy your second one as well. Thanx Siggie, nice picks.Comment

While we're on the topic of books, I'll ask here, rather than starting a new thread...
Have any of you read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams?[COLOR=#4b0082][B][SIZE=4][FONT=trebuchet ms]“If you think you can, or you can’t, you’re right.”

I've heard it's pretty good, does that count?Originally posted by Siggie
Other books I ordered...
The Red Queen by Matt Ridley
The Paradox of Change by William Chafe
Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris
p.s. Since last night I told 4 more people about the original book you linked us to and they've all placed an order on Amazon. See now if you had one of those 'profit from spreading the Amazon word' account thingies you would have made like 50 cents.

The audiobooks are narrated by Douglas Adams! Sooo cool.
So sad that he died.

It's okay. I'm rewarded by promoted intelligent book reading.[COLOR=#4b0082][B][SIZE=4][FONT=trebuchet ms]“If you think you can, or you can’t, you’re right.”
