Manage to get quite a bit of reading done while on vacation. Finished reading The White Tiger by Adiga, for which he won the Booker prize. It was an amusing, sardonic romp....enjoyable, but forgettable. Story of an a servant from India who manages to rise above the caste system. Makes one appreciate the good ol' USA (and so does the Bahamas, in general).
Finished Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefevre. Interesting stories of a turn of the century stock market maker and goes to show: the more things change, the more people stay the same.
Also managed to skim through Value in Time, a trading textbook that was homework from the new firm. Very analytical and perhaps more valuable to hedge fund managers.
Josh just finished a book, Where the Red Fern Grows - something about a boy and his dogs and the death of said dogs. Needless to say, he was bawling. Sensitive kid.
