Useful Entertainment

Some reviews:-

You’ll Smile from the second you see the front cover, have a smile on your face every word you read, and laugh so hard that all around you will think you’re watching John Cleese, Woody Allen or Lenny Bruce, these are the gentleman in the same category as the hilarious FakeSteve, 5 Stars all the way, I bought two so far, one for my dad who introduced me to FakeSteve, and I may buy many more as gifts…priceless.
Most people considering this book should already been familiar with Fake Steve Jobs in his original blogging form.

46. Investment Biker–by Jim Rogers;

Some reviews:-

This is a travel book, not a financial book, period. It’s 90% travel to 10% international finance/investment 101. And it’s interesting because Jim gives us a glimpse of the current, recent and distant-pasts of these exotic and intriguing places he visits on his motorcycle journey which spanned 22 months. He didn’t look up influential people in the places he visited. He writes about his conversations and experiences from people he “bumped into” during his trip. That’s where one learns what a place is really like.
What made this book appealing to me is Roger’s historical, political, social, and financial take on every country he went through. Like it or not, assets, such as a cow, translate into money and the money then translates into another cow. If readers don’t understand the significance of money, credit, banking and the 20th century debate between Schumpeter and Keynes, they aren’t going to get as much from this book.

Some reviews:-

Published to coincide with the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Forbes 400, All the Money in the World, the work of a team of prominent editors and business writers, goes behind the celebrated list to paint a vivid and revealing portrait of the wealthiest Americans of the past quarter century. Abundantly anecdotal, with insights gleaned from original research, interviews with Forbes 400 members, and never-before-compiled data, it is filled with illuminating “infographics”.

Some reviews:-

Lewis (Liar’s Poker; The New New Thing) examines how in 2002 the Oakland Athletics achieved a spectacular winning record while having the smallest player payroll of any major league baseball team. Given the heavily publicized salaries of players for teams like the Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees, baseball insiders and fans assume that the biggest talents deserve and get the biggest salaries.
This is a well-written, quick read, which, if you are any kind of baseball fan, will cause you to stop repeatedly and think about what you’ve just read.

Some reviews:-

I think that one of the most startling things about this novel is that, for everyone who reads it, there is a different pivotal image, a separate moment in the book which forms an axis for the work. For me, it’s Sherman McCoy’s phone conversation with his estranged wife, in which he talks about the days when, as he went off to work, he would turn on the street under the window where she was watching, and give the black power sign. It meant, to this white son-of-a-lawyer, that he wasn’t going to get sucked into Wall Street, that he was only using it; that it wouldn’t change him.
Lot of useful reviews here. No one mentions Wolfe’s 24-page introduction, ‘Stalking the Billion-Footed Beast,’ which is excellent in itself as an overview of the alleged death of the novel, The New Journalism, non-fiction v. fiction & his own evolution as a writer.

So finally this is the last part of the book review, and thank you for your support and hope you enjoy all these 7 series of book review.
