Mind giving us a quick summary and your views on it when you finish reading itWinning the Looses game - Timeless Strategies for successful investing from Charles D. Ellis
Unfortunately Rhythm of War, the fourth book, is much worse than the previous installments. Hope it's an exception and not a trend.
Are you saying you didn't like any of them? And the 4th was the worst of the worst?
I loved the first and the second book. As far as I remember, the third one was a little worse. But the fourth one is much worse. I actually considered stopping reading in the middle of it (a common sentiment when you check the top reviews). And Brandon Sanderson is by far one of my favorite authors, if not the favorite one.
Found a new series. Sun Eater by Christopher Ruocchio. 5 Books planned in the series. 3 are out currently. 4th comes out this July. 5th in 2022.
All I can... is holy .
IF you like Dune or Red Rising. You'll like this book.
I am currently reading David and Goliath. Fascinating and surprising research .How this thread works... when you start reading a new book, you update it here. It’s nice to have a log of what everyone on the forum is reading and i’m sure it will spark discussions and recommendations.

@Fox's new book (and it's available for free). Full disclosure: I helped create it and publish it but I didn't write it.
Don't be fooled by the title. While it is primarily aimed at those interested in starting a web design business, this book delivers hugely important meta-lessons for every entrepreneur. I've greatly enjoyed reading it and found some lessons for myself despite being in a completely different business.
Funny, i just saw this advertised on the BookBub email blast ... it caught my eye and after looking, I was like, "Hey, that's FOX!"
