  1. I would definitely give it a recommendation for a read. Even if you're a boomer and not into crypto assets.

    I would like to someday finish reading all of Lewis' books. Though I know this one is his most controversial, as SBF has so many haters right now.

    I think my most unliked Lewis book is Moneyball. Though technically, I didn't read the book, only watched the movie. But I found it extremely boring (I hate baseball), and there wasn't much anything at all in there pertaining to hedge funds as I had thought from reading the backstory.

    I had found 'Flashboys' very educational and entertaining. Though, at the time some considered it his most flawed book.

  2. That is his one book I didn't read, although I also watched the movie. I liked the movie, though. Okay, I might put his latest book on my reading list. For entertainment value, of course. :)

    No, I didn't read it, but the title is catchy.

  5. I have not read 'When Genius Failed' yet. But I have read Hedge Hogs, and loved that one very much. Will probably give it a re-read again in the future sometime.

    As for tonight, I read up to p. ~270 of The Wolf of Investing. I do find myself still bursting out laughing every hour or so at something in this book:


    LMFAO!

    Lately, reading INDEX of a W Buffet gift book with about 5-7 Charlie Munger quotes in it.
    BUT that gift book was so off-so much in some insurance co comments, I don't want to name it.
    Some have nicknamed him the Bear, his more common nickname is General Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf;
    Auto Bio book written with Peter Petre of Fortune Magazine.
    Good war winner .:caution::caution:

  9. There is one new book on Hedge Funds I haven't read yet, but have on my waiting list. 25 weeks!

    It's the one by Rob Copeland, 'The Fund' which is very critical of Dalio. However, Dalio has... pointed out some things in his own defence, mentioning Copeland not only is an impulsive liar, but also was rejected from Bridgewater when Copeland applied for hire (doh!).

    I bookmarked the point in this recent interview where shit gets interesting.
