We went to the Orem Library again this week, and here is what I checked out:
The Big Short by Michael Lewis: I recently rewatched this movie for the 4th or 5th time, and thought I’d read the actual book. It is amazing (and a bit frightening) how this story is still so relevant, even more than a decade after the financial collapse. If anything, it is even more relevant, especially with r/wallstreetbets and the Gamestop rebellion.
The Death of Money by James Rickards: I’ve been following Jim Rickards off and on for a while now, and I think he has an uncanny understanding of our current financial system and how precarious it really is. Since it appears that the global pandemic is rapidly accelerating the collapse of that system—which was already in process before the SARS-COV-2 virus was unleashed upon the world—I’m extremely curious to see exactly how he thinks the endgame of our current monetary system is going to play out.
Abaddon’s Gate by James S.A. Corey: I checked this one out before, but had to return it before I finished it. It’s not a bad book, I just had a lot going on and wasn’t really feeling it at the time. Great series, but I’m taking it slow at the moment.
The other books in the picture I checked out earlier in the month, and hope to get to in the next few weeks. Realistically, I’ll probably have to return at least half of them unread, but I figure it’s a good thing to feel like I’m always drowning in books.
