off topic but my brother, a tail ended batsman famously earned himself a 40 minute duck while playing under 18 rep level cricket. Not sure if the other batsman managed to get enough runs to make his tactic be worthwhile.
- This sparked an interest in finance and particularly stocks and property. I've since read 100's of books on the subject. It is not uncommon for me to have 30-40 investment books on hold at the library at any one time. I generally read 1-2 investment books each week if I can.
Any particular favorites? Any you have bought after reading them? Any you have re-read?
