First off: I'm the busy professional-type who typically buys books with the intention of reading them, only to put them aside after the first few chapters and become preoccupied with other things.This is not such a book.The layout is downright enticing, and I found myself burning through the pages without even trying. It's that good! By the same token, if you're a Stosselesque libertarian, you might be surprised to learn that this isn't necessarily a passive affirmation of what you already know to be true.True, there are the obligatory smackdowns of global warming and secondhand smoke. But the reader may be surprised at the sections on child discipline and hypnosis. (One gets the feeling that even Stossel himself isn't entirely convinced.)As an added bonus, readers of this book will learn how to walk on hot coals without injury, and learn the answer to the age-old question: what *really* happens when cousins marry?
