Tredging along.

This is a reference book that I now own. I may not finish this from cover to cover. I'll just call it done now.

DNF

Of all his short books, errrr.

This is probably the only book from his collection that I haven't read. I was in the library last week and saw this on the free shelf. But the start is pretty slow. But with 262 pages, this will be quick -- when I finally pick it up for good. Right now, I read as the mood hits me (for this one).

How can you go wrong reading what Bill Gates wrote in 1995. If you are interested in the future of AI, this is somewhat reflective of the evolution of the computer age. Remember when they talked about the information superhighway? Well, it's baaccckkkk.

This remains one of the best books available, and I encourage everyone interested in high-side finance to read it. It's taken a while to finish because it's in queue with other books.

I enjoyed watching Kwame on Top Chef. Now, I will get the inside story.

As I dive into options trading in my private equity firm, I find this book interesting and it provides knowledge for my efforts. I'm already using spreads, shorts, options, and the like. While I am new, I've made 22 consecutive successful trades. My short position which closes on June 18 has an 80.02% favorability chance of success. I'm still bouncing out with 50% of the gains, next week, 26 days in advance.

I'm still in the forward as I just finished my last book yesterday, on my birthday, but I'm glad I got this book. It's caught my interest already.

This is an ok story. I'm enjoying it. Mike Lawson has written stronger books, but I'll gladly finish this one. And then start on House Rivals.

Interesting book. Good read. I enjoy the way Lawson spins a tale.

In true Mike Lawson fashion, he has written another book I enjoy reading. So far, so good. And look! Only 320 pages. That's my kind of book.

Almost done. I'm on the last 20 pages. Now, I am already lining up my next read. Mike Lawson, House Privilege and House Rivals are up next. Oh, and Dark Money by Jane Mayer - I am picking up where I left off on this one.

This book is 478 pages, not 278 pages. Otherwise, I would have been done. I am closing this out and actively searching for my next read. My son bought me four Tom Clancey novels, but after you've read a couple of 1,000 page Tom Clancey novels, I kind of petter out. But there's a whole, wonderful world of books out there. I intend to explore as many of them as possible. I think I'll read Mike Lawson's new one, Ella.

I'm just reading to finish the book. It's an ok book, but I'm going to read a book from my collection that I DNF. That will be Jane Mayer's Dark Money, now that I am a developer and a philanthropist. (EFLT, WRL Croaker Road, Balanced REH, Evansville, and the EFLT Scholarships).
