Books and Books. - July 13, 2007
Here's the list since I posted last. Doing a lot of Hollywood reading which is interesting but not very inspiring.
Heart of Darkness--Joseph Conrad
Moneyball--Michael Lewis
Unprotected: A Campus Psychiatrist Reveals How Political Correctness in Her Profession Endangers Every Student--Anonymous MD
The Road--Cormac McCarthy
Anabasis--Xenophon
Which Lie Did I Tell: Adventures in Screentrade--William Goldman
Hit and Run--Nancy Griffin
My War Gone By, I Miss It So--Anthony Loyd
Rickles Book--Don Rickles

Unprotected is really cool if you're at all interested in analyzing the current college generation.

What did you think of Moneyball? So many people completely misunderstand that book...

I thought it was spectacular. Not because of the tactics of Billy Beane, but because of the strategy. That is how masters tackle a situation: examine the rules and understand them, decide which ones can be broken, which ones are inefficient and exploit them.
How do people misunderstand it?
