Liar's Poker

Thanks Ryan for the book! It's gonna be the first book that I started reading on the day I got it. Looks like I will be finishing a book after all. Funny thing is ... my entire 2004/5 experiences are very well papered in Chapter 2. Weird but true... Here's the exempt:

Michael Lewis was fresh out of Princeton and the London School of Economics when he landed a job at Salomon Brothers (now merged into Citigroup), one of Wall Street's premier investment firms. During the next three years, Lewis rose from callow trainee to New York - and London-based bond salesman, raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a modern-day gold rush.

Liar's Poker is the culmination of those heady, frenzied years - a behind-the-scenes look at a unique and turbulent time in American business. From the frat-boy camaraderie of the trading room to the killer instinct that made ambitious young men gamble everything on a high-stakes game of bluffing and deception, here is Michael's knowing and hilarious insider's account of an unprecedented era of greed, gluttony and outrageous fortune.
