Freakonomics and Washington IrvingPosted: Jun 04 2008
Posted by HVBlogger in Washington Irving, Sunnyside |
HVBlogger loved Freakonomics, as apparently do many others. The book that turns the dismal science on its head remains a best-seller some 18 months after its release.
Freakonomics co-author Stephen J. Dubner blogs on NYTimes.com. Yesterday he wrote about the troubles the Mark Twain house in Hartford, Conn., is experiencing. (Sad and scary, indeed). While doing so, he mentions Washington Irving's Sunnyside, stating:
I also love visiting the old homes of interesting people, like Washington Irving. There's nothing like being able to literally walk in the footsteps of someone else from long ago - seeing where they worked, slept, ate, and maybe cheated at cards.
We could not agree more.
