A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates on Amazon. I check them out quarterly just for a laugh.

Here are my top 2 favorite:

This is a very disturbing book. It encourages perverted lifestyles by describing deviates as "normal". Just because there are 100,000 deviates, it doesn't make it normal. Deviates don't become normal even if there are 100,000 of them.

Reading this gives you the feeling of the beauty of random, and how big a million is.
