This was my husband’s subtle encouragement to start reading the Book Club selection for February:

My husband had rave reviews for the author, Michael Lewis. “Moneyball was incredible! I learned so much! Seriously! This will be a great book! I want to read it when you’re done! I can read it for your club!”.

I was a little bummed, though. The book has a few pieces by the author, but it’s mostly (well-written, still) essays and articles about all things financial from other people. Not that I’m complaining; I still learned quite a bit.  I especially loved the Dave Barry essay:“How To Get Rich In Real Estate” (from his book: Dave Barry’s Money Secrets). I immediately handed the book over to my husband and insisted he read it, and we both sat in the living room, laughing so hard tears were streaming down our faces. 

I will leave all the deep-thinking to the “Econ Nerds”, as Molls called them. But, if you’re like me and you have a limited at best understanding of how this financial world works, this is a good book to read. (They provide a glossary at the back of the book in case you get hung up on terms). (Edit: Most of still went way over my head. I won’t lie.)

If you’re interested in joining the Book Club, follow this link.  Would love to have you join in our discussions!
