Woke up extra early this morning so I thought I'd kill some time with an audible. Really enjoyed this so far. Just someone who has made a book off the back of the original Thinking Fast, & Slow but I like the way things are told.

That does a disservice to the author. It was published before Thinking, Fast and Slow.

Read this when it first came out and just read again.

Interesting read if you like London Gangster books!

If you liked Lock Stock with Vinnie Jones character, it is based on Dave Courtney

It will not aid sports trading but what a fabulous book, the audiobook narrated by LJ Ganser is a superior way to enjoy such a great read.

The audiobook of Down And Out In Paris And London - George Orwell is a wonderful read, superficially will not teach you anything about trading except Perseverence

In any case I recommend its a wonderful read. :)

The last my book was Flowers for Algernon. The book is written in the diary genre. It is easy to read, in one breath. Affects very subtle levels of the human psyche. Things are rising that many of us have thought and are thinking about ... I was surprised in one place by the description of the hero, which looks like he is in a meditative state: the body expands, merges almost with the universe, etc. I liked the book very much, because I am very interested in the psychology of the human soul and this kind of work: the description of the sensations of the most experimented is amazing and unusual.
