“Lake Success is pretty outrageous too, but also extremely funny, and terribly sad, and very human”

“Strong recommend “Slow Horses”. The books it’s based on are some of my favorite espionage thrillers ( think LeCarre but funny) and the series captures that.”

“Q. What's your favourite business book you'd advise to young entrepreneurs and why M.L. Some good ones from the "pure business" category: Zero to One, The Hard Thing About Hard Things, The Innovator's Dilemma, Good to Great, etc. Personally, I prefer less advice, more history. From my favorite business segment: Too Big To Fail, Ascent of Money, When Genius Failed, etc. Books on applied psychology (Influence, Predictably Irrational, etc) are another way to round out primarily technological education :)”

“Loved this, the second Chernow book I've read and it was as well written as the first. I got it at Christmas but was saving it for the nice weather so I could read it in the sun as I did with Titan last year. I expect I'll read all of Chernow's books within the next few years.”

“Black Edge reads more outrageous and fictional, such is the hubris of the many characters portrayed in it”

“This is another work by Andy Weir (author of The Martian), and it’s a very fun read that I would classify as part of the guilty pleasure section of my personal library”
