Re: Book of the Year Nominations
I think a lot of people might be interested in this. I've been very busy lately. Anyone have time to make the poll?

Re: Book of the Year Nominations
"Cards" by Jonathan Maxwell shines above the rest.
Has anyone else read this yet besides, like, 3 people here? I'm still on a high from reading it. It took a week to sink in, too. I think it's deeper than I originally thought, as days after I began to think of the charachter more objectively, and realized how completely he represents the burnout veteran. And I think the writing quality is very high grade, like the guy is an author first and a player second. |

I'm reading "Blink" (Malcolm Gladwell) now and I believe it is an important read for serious poker players. Goes into how you mind thinks (unconscious vs. conscious) and introduces a term known as thin-slicing...which is basically picking the important bits when you are overloaded with information. "Blink" also made this year's BusinessWeek Top 10. Greg H. |
