The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets
I've yet to finish this book. Oh, I have read it from cover to cover. At least 5 times. But, I'm still not finished. I don't think I ever will.
This is one of those books that stays on your nightstand, in that place on your desk near the dictionary, that prominent place on the bookshelf reserved for books that just need to be see from anywhere in the room.
It's one of those books that accompanies you to those fast-food, eat-in-the-car lunches, times in some waiting room somewhere, even into the can.
It's also one of those books I never, ever loan out. I'd rather buy you your own copy, thanks.
This book changed the way I think...about everything. And, I'm 95% sure it'll change yours too. (<-- you'll need to read the book to get this inside joke).
