The Logic of Life
My favorite book is The Logic of Life, by Tim Harford. I came across it when I was searching for an oratory topic for my high school debate team. I started reading it and was hooked. It is my favorite because it discusses how everyone makes rational decisions even if others don't think the choices are rational. Not only that but the Rational Choice Theory links individual decisions to bigger societal outcomes. Economics has always been interesting to me therefore this book is great. I have read it many times and every time I discover something I didn't before, that is why it is my favorite.

Very interesting, Lacey. I've never read this book, and it sounds like it could be a little over my head! It definitely catches my attention, though! I always like it when my students introduce me to good material I haven't already encountered!
