The last economics-related thing I wrote was a strategy guide for a DOS-based big business simulation called Wall Street Raider.Mensch Link to post Share on other sites

aadams_22 3 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Three Nights in August by Buzz Bissinger (author of Friday Night Lights)It goes into the mind of St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa as he is faced with a three game series against the Cardinals and their arch rival Chicago Cubs. Their are three main parts in the book with each one covering one of three games in the series. It goes extremely in depth into La Russa's mind and breaks down every single move he makes and why he made it. It also shows the human side of La Russa like telling us how he lives in a hotel room in St. Louis' Central West End instead of some sprawiling estate in the burbs. I highly recommend this book and I have thoroughly enjoyed this book. Link to post Share on other sites

Socko669 0 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Currently rereading 100 Years of Solitude by Marquez. A frightfully beautifal and well written book.Also rereading SSHE, Psychology of Poker, and Barry Greenstein's new book (which is awesome). I make it a practice to read or reread a few poker books every couple of weeks. Link to post Share on other sites
