The purpose of this thread is simple really; post what book you are reading right now. Include the Title, Author and if you want a small synopsis/review of it so that people can get a general idea of the book. Don't be shy about posting your book because everyone is welcome. That includes high brow salivating Proust intellectual f-u-c-k sticks and knuckle dragging Stephen King droolers. You can both learn from each other.
Now you might wonder why would a book thread belong in a gambling forum? Sports Betting and most gambling does not take place in a vacuum. You need a variety of skills to succeed. Expanding your horizons to include different topics, opinions and facts can only help your decision making processes.
For the more skeptical amongst you here is an more in depth exploration of why reading is important from an investment perspective. It's based on the works by that rich old f-u-c-k Charles Munger (Buffett's 2nd in Command).
All that being said I think the most important reason to read is because it is fun. But who knows you might become an erudite gambler and impress some cocktail waitresses with your book smarts. We live in hope.
I debated whether to start this thread in Players Lounge but decided it had less chance of being buried by the various JJGold rambling threads. If it ever takes off cross posting it with PL would probably be a good idea.
