This book was quite thrilling and I enjoyed the ending although it was very similar to the movie called Get Out

Quite interesting how he is a follower of Dionysus and is a believer in Hedonism. Similar to the Epicureans except much more so. Completely unrestrained by common morality found in religion. This is a good overview book of his other novels. After reading you should have a good basis of his views to read more deeply the books you are interested in of his. Sadly, he does hate women.

The best Camus book I've read. So this book is about a lawyer who lives at the height of his powers. He has a super inflated ego and does not engage in any self reflection until the moment when he crosses the Seine and hears a girl jump into the river. He walks away and says oops its too late and too far. That incident plagues him and is the impetus for his entire flagellation of himself where he examines all of his actions under a lens of being a terrible person.
It's very interesting and as the reader you have to examine yourself until the end when you're shaken awake from your reveries by realizing that the lawyer is manipulating you and your emotions.

Really good book for investing and understanding the framework for investing currently. We manage risk to deliver returns. Chance exists, yes, but we can tame it. That's what this book is about and the developments of statistics and mathematical formulae that could help tame the markets and chance.
