Michael Lewis is just a great, great writer. “Liar’s Poker” is a classic read for all traders. “Moneyball” was one of the best books I have read in years.

Not for lack of interest, but because I was tapped out on financial crisis books at the time it was published.

David Merkel submits: One surprise to me is that the publishers are so free with their books. When I ask for a book, I get it 80% of the time. And I get books that I would never have thought of asking for. PR flacks contact me and ask if I am willing to do something special for their author.

David Merkel submits: I don’t have an image for the cover of Zack Miller's TradeStream Your Way to Profits because it will not be published until June. Nor will I have other links to Amazon. I like to review books, and I will do it whether I get compensation or not.
