Oh yeah, I've yet to read Freakonomics (except for the chapter on how lower crime rates in the 90's can be linked to Roe v. Wade, which I read quickly in an airport), but I've got a different pop economics book on hold at the library that i can tell you about soon--"Discover your inner economist" by Tyler Cowen, which is about using economic incentives for self-improvement and influence, I think.
I liked Exit Wounds! It's nice to read a clean, beautiful book whose writing is also sophisticated and well paced. Are you familiar with her work? She has a bunch of cool strips archived on the NY Times website.
