Amazon has sent me the following email and I'm wondering whether to put any of their recommended books in my letter to Father Christmas. Does anybody who's read them have an opinion?

Is this a new sport? |

My grandson can run a bit when he sees sweeties. I think I'll train him up.

Instead of jumping on the bandwagon of people trying to hard to be funny, why don't you explain and give reasons. Presuming you have read the mentioned books.

Hull, I haven't read the books in bold type, that's why I'm asking if others can recommend them.
I have read the books in italic type. Fortune's Formula is written in a sickeningly politically correct fashion as most American academic books are these days but it's still worth a read if you want a full explanation of the Kelly Criterion and some gossip about the Mafia running car parks. The other books in italics aren't worth the bother, in my view. |
