I was looking on Amazon.com at Maddox's new book, The Alphabet of Manliness. The book is fine, maybe shocking if you're unfamiliar with Maddox, but sounds like it captures the best parts of his work. The most surprising part is in the "Similar Items" category. According to Amazon, after viewing 'items like this,' 74% of people end up buying Freakonomics, which is an economics book that's not at all funny or manly.
