I finished Predictably Irrational a few weeks ago. It's mediocre. I loved the experiments and results portions of the book, but if you strip that out you're left with a 75 page book. And the analysis on top of it seems like filler. I enjoyed Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point and, of course, the legendary Freakonomics better.

Currently, I'm trying to read Paul Revere's Ride, which is mentioned in The Tipping Point. I hope it's like Gladwell's style of prose rather than straight history as it has been in the introduction.
