"Bringing Down the House" by Ben Mezrich....

I picked this up at Borders yesterday. It's a topic that I don't care one whit about-- Las Vegas gambling-- but I picked it up just to browse because it has a catchy cover blurb: "The inside story of six MIT students who took Vegas for millions," then I ended up reading 1/3 of the book sitting in the coffee shop. It's a really compelling story. They were blackjack card counters, BTW, mostly math geniuses with a system that took the casinos a long time to catch on to. Anyway, I'm really enjoying it and thought I'd recommend it to others.
