OPEN

Wow, what a whiny baby Agassi is. I nearly put the book down within the first three pages because of his whining about how tough it is. Well, it never stopped, but some parts about his playing were interesting enough to continue through the book.

He wrote it himself and it shows.

The good news - it was a fast read.

The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money

Well, we know where today's policy came from. Keynes is certainly a confident fellow. Key to his theory; however, is the psychological factor of the small investor. That would be one facet that's hard to calibrate.

Bible

At about ten pages a week it's gonna take me a while, so I felt it best to remove it from the next book list. I'll wade through it, but there are other books that need to be read first.

Stoner

Very interesting book with exceptional writing - the writing had to be great because the plot was about as bland as could be.

I found that the book not only kept my attention, but moved me to look forward to reading it. And, it was just not exciting.

I've got to think about this some more - as to why this book was a reader versus a speed reader.

Blink

Interesting read on the nature of immediate thought.
