Thought-provoking fun read
Most of the essays, reprinted from The New Yorker Magazine, were a thought-provoking interesting read. I especially enjoyed the biographical sketch of inventor Ron Popeil, the piece about why their is no dijon ketchup, the investment strategy of Nassim Taleb, the Enron debacle and several others. All in all, a good read. In addition, there are generously 22 essays in this collection and there is simply no way the reader is going to like them all. But they are all worthy of inclusion in the magazine, so they are all at least readable, and some are downright fascinating.
Also these products are selling well.
