Any good books to read lately? Leisure reading is also of interest.

    Good stuff, guys. I finished Liar's Poker. Overall a good read, but having heard so much about it I was slightly disappointed. It was in no way a page turner.

    Are the other books by Lewis worth reading?

    Worth watching. The movies made from them are pretty good. Be it baseball, football or trading related.

    Liar's poker is in pre-production, they are making a movie out of it.

    My adventures with YOUR money, by the Jackal of Wall Street, available online:

    https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/44274

    Actually this book is a pretty badly written autobiography by the scam artist, but there is a biography similarly titled that is good and was published a few years ago not 100.

    Cool. I can imagine the movie being better than the book. Hell, it may even be the edition of my book that was poorly organized (hardly any paragraphs) and thus impacting the reading experience. I thought it was a cool story/insights and had some legendary characters. I just felt it was a bit dry to read.
