The Editors of Outside Magazine: The Best of Outside : The First 20 Years
Reading at the moment. A solid book, not quite as engrossing as Outside 25 but still well worth your time. (***)
Ben Mezrich: Ugly Americans : The True Story of the Ivy League Cowboys Who Raided the Asian Markets for Millions
One of the most engrossing books you'll read about the finance industry - continuing the vein of Fiasco and Liar's Poker. Read it in a single plane flight - fantastic. (*****)
Anthony Bourdain: Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly
Loved it - a thoroughly entertaining look into what happens behind the kitchen door. Why chefs are like investment bankers? Foul mouths, crazy hours and disparate individuals brought together by skill. (*****)
