    While this is not a book per se, these [selected] articles are so good that they are a must read:

    Maybe one day Ed willl write a book for the layman. Hopefully, it will be at least at the level of these articles. In publishing, apparently there is a rule that for every equation in a book, you half it's sales. What a shame.

    This is one of the few trading books you will ever see me recommend (along with the other two that I like that I link to on this site)

    It is written by a sociologist, so it brings a really interesting perspective.

    i am currently very much into clips and documentaries.
    i found the tech talks from google and the TED conferences
    very inspiring. unfortunately my appetite is higher than
    the supply i find. so i suffer the same problem as you,
    just the other way round.
