Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefèvre

This is an old book. I did not realize how old it was until I started reading. That being said, I believe it is timeless and still 100% relevant to today.  I would recommend this book to anyone who has even the slightest interest in any high-risk investments or markets.  However, if you don't have the time for a whole book (just do audio book because everyone has time for that) the take home message is: Get smart, put in the long hours of studying, and once you know your stuff, don't be swayed by rumors, tips, or your idiot brain. Keep cool and rely only on your smarts and your numbers.

Wolves of the Calla - Stephen King (Dark Tower Series, Bk 5)

A good story, but it didn't really advance much in the general arc of the overall story purpose.  We have our characters trying to make it to the dark tower, but this entire book was spent helping some village people repel and destroy unknown raiders who show up and steal children, which is a good story, but I don't see how it did anything to further the actually getting to the dark tower.  It's a giant cross-over with Salem's Lot and has some funny pop references. It's more of a stand alone book. You could read this whole story without really needing the other books, except for possibly setting up the style of the series, which is really weird.
Overall: good, but totally unnecessary
