Thinking, Fast and Slow – Daniel Kahneman

@Diya you could essentially create a library 😉

It would be for my to-be-children? I rather bequeath them knowledge and I want to build a library with a fireplace and all…
Sitting by the fireplace sipping some coffee and reading a book is just divine. Also since my sisters also read it is nice to have a physical reference when you are debating some point.

LOL – I just discovered the book recommendation section! Adding this to my list to read.

@Diya Noted. 🙂 I don’t have a background, but I have a book on music theory that I had read partly when I was trying to learn guitar. I also have one on history of music. Both are on kindle. So if you want, I’ll forward it to you.

@Diya I live in Mumbai, India. Yea I agree in some cases e book is expensive. Well its not only the cost at times , I like it that I don’t have to physically store a whole lot of books 🙂 Well I do buy print versions as well, definitely for reference type books.

I want a physical store @AjFinance! My goal is 10,000 books =D (From Outliers 10,000 hours). I also just have a habit of collecting things…

@Diya Brilliant. Your Portfolio manager probably wont have to worry about multigenerational time horizon then 😉

@sascha feel free to start a new discussion on that! 😀

@AjFinance since you like music too you might really enjoy, “This is your Brain on Music”. You’ll especially enjoy it if you have a little background in music theory and on how the brain works.

Sounds like a great read. Thanks @Diya. Another one to add to my wish list then 😉

christine@ This is an amazing read. Thanks!

I would also recommend “Fooled by randomness” by NNT (Nassim Nicholas Taleb). Don’t agree with all his conclusions, but very thought provoking.

Ohh that would be much appreciated @AjFinance. I can’t send you a copy of the books I recommended because I prefer to buy print copies.

I find ebooks to be terribly expensive!

@Diya I just try to make use of my kindle. I usually buy those that I feel aren’t available locally or expensive to order in print. However, the books that I mentioned before, those I found on google 😉 . They were in PDF format, I converted them to .mobi using calibre software.

Where do you live @AjFinance?. Where I am it is actually rather common that the ebook copy and the softcover copy have a very small price differential. Actually in some cases the ebook version is more expensive!
I also use calibre, I don’t feel bad about buying and kindle and not using it as much, my sisters make it worth the money.

@Reena Welcome to the readers club 😉 @Diya sent you the book on music theory. Its in the kindle format. Couldn’t find the other book.
