The Big Short

By Michael Lewis.

I loved Liar's Poker when I read it years ago and was also impressed by The Big Short. I will probably have to read it again to make sure I got the whole story - hazard of reading quickly when I don't have a lot of background in the subject, I have found. Easy to read, but I think I needed some diagrams - I am very visual and descriptions of relationships are harder for me than diagrams sometimes. I am going to diagram it myself, I think. If I do, I will post them. I would recommend.

Reviews: B&N, NY Times, and The AV Club.

Interesting back story here.

Buy it here.

5 out of 5 stars.
