I saw her mention it a few times in the book, I may have to check it out.
I got all excited towards the end when she mentions Penn State (my alma mater) then got really mad when she spelled Mt. Nittany "Nitanny." Argh!
Picked up publisher's remainders of "The Snowball" by Alice Schroeder and "The Billlionaire's Vinegar" today at B&N, and at first I thought, wow, these books are so different, then I realized they both dealt with billionaire's (d'oh!). I'll probably start "Vinegar" next, as "Snowball" is an absolute tome, but I also just put in a request at the library for "Priceless" by Robert Wittman, not to mention I noticed today that I missed a short story by Poe on my list of 1001 Books To Read Before You Die ("The Purloined Letter"). Ahh, decisions.
