Welcome to Litsy!

This book is so freaking interesting. The author gives detail of working for Salomon Brothers in the 1980s right as they were at the apex but about to fall apart. My co-op somehow snuck this into her development reading.

Today's book bestie is having an adventure on the T.

This gem is back to its old tricks (commuting). Seen here with the enormous pile of stuff I "needed" to take to the office today.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Oof—this guy (Dalio) come off as a psychopath in this book. I read his book Principles a few years ago and remember finding it interesting, although I couldn‘t tell you what any of the principles were. This portrayal is rough. In addition to him being an abusive boss, the lack of any validation or testing of the tools he touts as the keys to everything is just 🤯. Worth a read if you like investigative journalism, esp. around business!

Today's book bestie is this gem I took off my co-op. Seems interesting so far.

Often in the real world, it's not the smart who get ahead, but the bold.

There‘ll definitely be more books than this in my week, as I can‘t seem to stop myself from starting new books at the moment and, with the Women‘s Prize for Fiction long list this week, I‘ve got no chance!

I‘ve just started the two on the left, for the NF long list, and both seem really interesting. The Postcard is the one that‘s drawing all of my attention right now I just can‘t put it down. I‘m about halfway through Talking.

Excellent clear and concise book on how to start investing in the stock market. It‘s literally a step by step guide, starting with how to open a brokerage account, with smart investing tips. I recommend to beginners.

The way to wealth, is not only to capitalize on the magic of long-term compounding of returns, but to avoid the tyranny of long-term compounding of costs.
