Well, I'm currently using one book as a mouse pad (a long, uninteresting story). My mousepad is photography book and has little in the way of text. The next runner up would be the book situation on the coffee table, which would be Off the Books: The Underground Economy of the Urban Poor. That book is sitting on my favorite VBA for Excel reference, so there's some ambiguity there. But lets use the more fun one, shall we?

Few store owners claim that demand is sufficient enough to create a steady, reliable business climate. Only the (Korean and Middle Eastern) managers of the
two respective liquor stores suggest they are not overly concerned about the
general loss of demand. As one said, "We're busy day and night. Our problem is
not enough people but too many people [sic]. Look at all these people in here
not buying anything, just hanging around."

Not the best moment, in an otherwise exceptional book. Venkatesh has enough interesting stories and general insight into human behavior to fuel two or three seasons of The Wire.

I tag Alliya, Josh, Elizabeth, Thalisha and megs.
