I just finished Michael Lewis's Moneyball. I found the book to be very interesting, well written and an easy read to boot. A must for baseball fans, the book is about the methods used by the Oakland A's management to statistically value baseball players in order to take advantage of the inefficiencies in the "baseball player ability" market.
CS, my good friend's birthday just passed, and since she's so into baseball now, I gave her a copy of this! And so I wouldn't have to borrow her gift, I bought a copy for myself that I'll hopefully read soon, when schoolwork lightens up. I told her that my statistic-loving fantasy-baseball friend recommended it.
