That's an excellent book, I also do recommend Conspiracy of the Rich also by Robert Kiyosaki. That book is about how money became the way it is today and secrets of the ultra rich.

Now that I've finished that, its on to Ben Mezrich's new one. I picked it up last night
Just went out and bought that.. Ill start it soon

Personally I'm reading:


Very cool book so far, I love bio's and Conrad Black is a huge icon in Canadian Business.

Also reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, Why We Want You To Be Rich, and Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, the latter of which I am finding to be a bit of a bore to read but apparently it's a staple so I'm plugging through it.

Also just had the chance to enjoy these fine dandies for a couple of months. Soooooooooo fun! Thank god it's over.

I've read Too Big Too Fail and The Big Rich in the last two months. Both excellent books. The Big Rich is one of the best I've ever read about the rise and fall of Texas Oil Money starting in the late 1800's very entertaining and eye opening.
