theresa113 0 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Last weekend I read The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King: Inside the Richest Poker Game of All Timeby Michael Craig. It was awesome. You will never look at Jennifer Harmon, Ted Forrest or Howard Lederer the same.Today, if I get a chance, I will be reading Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't by Jim Collins. I have read the introduction and it seems like it will be a great book. My boss read it and loves it. Link to post Share on other sites

InsanityCubed 0 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 War Against the Weak By Edwin Black is a great nonfiction read. All about eugenics, the whole idea of the creation of a master race, and how it was practiced in the U.S. during the 1900s. The last chapter alone is worth the read, just mind blowing stuff.
