Michael Lewis's New Book - The Big Short

Has anybody else read this book? I just finished reading it yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! This is the second book of Lewis's that I read (Liars Poker the other) and I just couldn't put it down.

Sounds fascinating. Liar's Poker is sitting on my bookshelf right now, I've been meaning to read it for the longest time.

Right now I'm completely hooked on "Made to Stick" -- really amazing communications book.

Is there any thread on books to read prior to b-school or any interesting business related books that you guys know about? If not, we should start one :D

I would love to read the books you guys talk about - they are probably full of insight!

I am currently reading Fox's Lessons Learned at the dinner table - really enjoy his books - short to the point advice on how this HBS grad made it to what he defines as "top"! Love it!

Peace,
Jas

Jas, I love your idea about creating a 'books to read before b-school' list--this could be VERY useful! Let's chat some more about this.
