ESPN TMQ GRC

That’s a lot of initials to say that ESPN’s “Tuesday Morning Quarterback” gave a nod to “Get Rich Cheating” today. The column, written by Gregg Easterbrook, is a great combination of football insights and cultural, political, and economic commentary. And, obviously, he has good taste in books.

Here’s the column.

Here’s the relevant passage:
“Of course, I am recommending that in the offseason you read my new book “Sonic Boom.” (I just saw “Sonic Boom” at the front of an airport Borders — seeing a book of mine displayed prominently in an airport bookstore is a new experience, I can assure you.) Of other recently published books, I recommend, in finance, “House of Cards” by William Cohan; in science, “Why We Cooperate” by Michael Tomasello; in politics, “The Science of Liberty” by Timothy Ferris, a look at how 18th century advances in understanding of the found world gave the Framers confidence their views of natural law were correct; in history, “The Lost City of Z” by David Grann; in humor, “Get Rich Cheating” by Jeff Kreisler. ”
