right. but a lot of books are long articles that are puffed up and bloated until they are long enough to look respectable sitting on bookseller's shelf with a 26.99 price tag.
I actually read Cowen's blog daily and highly recommend it. Economics is at the heart of it, but books and food come up all the time.
I really hope there is a future for "singles." I know most of the ones that have come out so far have not gotten very favorable reviews. This one has actually sparked a fair amount of debate with various economists weighing in (Cowen invariably links to reviews and reactions to the book from his blog, whether they are favorable or not).
For those interested, he blogs at marginalrevolution.com. Has a co-blogger, but probably 80% of the posts are from him.
