Traffic
I recently finished a book about traffic. I know, I know, who would want to read a book about traffic? We sit in it long enough and its a source of constant complaint. It was actually a really interesting book. It had a couple of fun statistics, like a majority of people rate themselves as above average drivers. Or people all over the world alot themselves 1 hour of commuting time, whether its by car, bicycle or foot. Tokyo, Japan - one hour. Wild Rose, Wisconsin - 1 hour. It explains why the other lane is always moving faster (human perception is flawed). It spends a whole chapter on risk, and concludes that driving is the most dangerous thing most of us will ever do. Drive safe!
