Been listening/reading a bunch of money-oriented books lately.
The Millionaire Next Door gets an "eh, blah". It's worth a library checkout but not a buy. There are some good lessons, but a lot of the stuff resonates of "the C student will rule the world". I'll put up a detailed review that will negate the need for you to actually read it.
Innovation and Entrepreneurship gets a "yay". Drucker is awesome. He presents innovation as a regularly reproducible and necessary occurrence for thriving companies. Drucker offers insights into how to nurture innovation and, equally important, how to kill it.
Wall Street Journal Guide to Understanding Money and Investing gets an "eh". It's a look at how the stock market works through 6th grade civics spectacles. The information is very basic and the layout gave me a headache after a while. It's a loud 100+ page pamphlet. As a primer, it serves its purpose. Check this out from your local library and give this a read-through if you don't know anything about how money/investments work. After reading this, you won't know how to pick stocks, but you'll know what they are. One semi-major complaint is that this book doesn't cover compound interest. Any basic finance-oriented book needs to go over the idea of compound interest because it is THE motivation for putting your money into investments rather than your piggy bank.

That God must either be turned into a symbol for something less concrete or abandoned altogether. by poker tournaments

Posted by: hgh at November 23, 2004 04:38 AMPhilosophy aims at the logical clarification of thoughts. Philosophy is not a body of doctrine but an activity. A philosophical work consists essentially of elucidations. Philosophy does not result in philosophical propositions', but rather in the clarification of propositions. Without philosophy thoughts are, as it were, cloudy and indistinct: its task is to make them clear and to give them sharp boundaries. by poker stars
Posted by: online poker rooms at November 23, 2004 03:30 AMThe theory of knowledge which I wish to propose is a largely Darwinian theory of the growth of knowledge. From the amoeba to Einstein, the growth of knowledge is always the same: we try to solve our problems, and to obtain, by a process of elimination, something approaching adequacy in our tentative solutions. by texas holdem poker

Posted by: online casino games at November 22, 2004 08:04 PMInsomnia can become a form of contemplation. You just lie there, inert, helpless, alone, in the dark, and let yourself be crushed by the inscrutable tyranny of time.

Posted by: vimax at November 18, 2004 07:58 AMModern art touches a sore spot, or several sore spots, in the ordinary citizen of which he is totally unaware. The more irritated he becomes at modern art the more he betrays the fact that he himself, and his civilization, are implicated in what the artist shows him.
