I hope you find the working world as exciting and fulfilling as the poker world. As someone who has been in both my adivce is dont get your hopes up. As long as someone else signs your paycheck you have to put with their [censored] and that ALWAYS sucks

Re: Say goodbye to the dream
la,
CoaEH was interesting subject material imo, but I agree not very well written. I believe my review was "OK, worth a read if you find the topic interesting." Of your top 10 (read them all), the only three I think are really outstanding books are: huck finn liars poker in cold blood Given your list, I'm kinda surprised Barbarians at the Gate wasn't on it. So, let me rephrase. You should try reading more books by writers instead of journalists. Here are some books you might like if you haven't read them already: The Soul of a Chef (Ruhlman) The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay (Chabon) Motherless Brooklyn (Lethem) Under the Banner of Heaven (Krakauer) Pastoralia (Saunders) The Kite Runner (Hosseini) High Fidelity (Hornby) I'm curious about your opinion of any of those you've read.
