If you've seen these books and thought about reading them, do it. They're pretty entertaining.

IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

"[George Lucas] rebooted the franchise in 1997 without telling anyone." -skyjedi2005

"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Rewrite the Prequels!

I just finished Jonah Lehrer's "How We Decide." It was really good too. A little overlap with the Freakonomics books, but otherwise a different topic. It mostly concerns the different "layers" of the brain and how they interact and arrive at a final "decision."

Now I'm reading "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell. It's made for an interesting third point to Lehrer and Leavitt.

I like to pronounce it "Lehr-uh".

Seriously, we should have a book club.
