Book Review

In The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham, Investment is also specifically mentioned to be different from trading or speculating. Some may call it ‘Fundamental’ investing and what it means is just that one must study the company’s fundamentals (financials/management) before selecting it for investment.

The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware is told in epistolary format, Rowan is writing to a solicitor, Mr. Wrexham about her very publicized case. She wants him to know she's innocent and didn't do it.

Magpie Murders' is a book within a book. One part is about the fictitious detective novels of the Atticus Pund series, a hugely successful franchise. While Alan Conway is a pain to work with, the hype and popularity generated by his books makes him invaluable for the publishing house.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand is another of those novels which are classic because they create both an entertaining story, contain philosophical ideas and tie into historical events. 

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls is a stunning memoir, hard to put down. Walls is superb with details, a true genius. She is a fine example of a self-made, successful person.
