Saw Counting House mentioned in a @matt_levine email, and bought and read in a day You'll enjoy it. There's a very specific joy of reading books where the person clearly has exposure to your very specific niches of industry. Very fast read. Make sure to send screenshots to the endowment friend in your life.

The story of Nils van der Poel is so good. So few that call their shot, do their own training regime, win olympics, drop guide to it, also hilarious writing

I’m watching Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room for the first time tonight. Makes me wonder what other classic Wall Street/Finance movies I haven’t seen.

This was great book. Like prince of persia book, it's contemporaneous diary of Robert Rodriguez as he makes his first film that then becomes breakout hit. I'm really big fan of this genre, so if anyone has others definitely lmk

Waiting until I’m fully done with Roosevelt and Hopkins before doing final review. But I’m 80% of the way through this mammoth of a book. And it’s by far my favorite WWII book And also I think a book everyone interested in elasticity of production capacity should read
