Re: Books like \"The Game\" and \"Bringing Down the House\"
Kitchen Confidential is good. Too bad his TV persona is so much worse than his writer's voice.
Have you read any of his fiction?

Re: Books like \"The Game\" and \"Bringing Down the House\"
You might like the TV work of Dave Gorman. He has also written a couple of books. I havent read them but they have good reviews.

I think Liar's Poker is a million times better than Monkey Business, although everyone in college aspiring to work as a banker on Wall St should read Monkey Business.

[/ QUOTE ] Yea I read it soon after I got out of college, so I was able to relate to Monkey Business a lot more than Liar's Poker. Like I mentioned earlier, they're both great reads, but to me, Monkey Business is more 'fun', whereas Liar's Poker has a lot more content in it.
