    Best of luck with the book. Don’t let those blogosphere haters get you down, because you’re on top! Top of the NYT Bestseller’s List.

    Best wishes for the book’s success. Hope it nudges you to plan the next project “Mega-Super-Freakonomics”!

    Nothing like a controversy to lift sales. Look forward to reading the book.

    Ordered. I agree with Anant. Don’t you guys want to be know as Mega-Super-Freaks amidst the blogosphere? Although after taking on abortion and climate change you might want to retire.

    Got mine last night at midnight!

    Haters hate because they don’t have anything productive to do.

    Cheers!

    Best wishes. I only have one question. Freakonomics, SuperFreakonomics, … What will be next? MegaFreakonomics? Too complicated …

    “Don’t go to the water cooler without it.”

    Or to global cooling *with* it.
