I read it and really enjoyed it. Especially enjoyed the section on the percentage of professional hockey players who have birthdays in the same months.

The book reminded me a lot of "Freakenomics."

I hope DNoonan is not from the south or you're in for it!

Very enjoyable book. His others were good as well - Tipping Point and Blink.

He is safesafesafe....just a laid back west coaster here. I want to read those other two books, I flew through outliers and have heard good things about his first two books.
