A private investor for 20+ years, I manage private portfolios and write about investing. You can read my market musings on three different sites: 1) The Deipnosophist, dedicated to teaching the market's processes and mechanics; 2) Investment Poetry, a subscription site dedicated to real time investment recommendations; and 3) Seeking Alpha, a combination of the other two sites with a mix of reprints from this site and all-original content. See you here, there, or the other site!

The business of books is bad for reading

Inversion Features :: Don't Point that Ad at Me :: the business of books is bad for reading

This rant offers much that I agree with: that glorious feeling of hefting a book to help decide on its purchase, the joy of discovering a new author or book, even the fact that I also am too quick to proselytize the merits of this or that book, but slow to heed the recommendations from friends and family. I even find the author's list of notable books intriguing; I looked up each with which I was previously unfamiliar. And isn't that the value of word-of-mouth publicity?
