An excerpt from Michael Lewis’ latest book.

I don’t really like Lewis as a writer.  If you read Liar’s Poker, you will think that he may have made up half the things in Moneyball, as Liar’s Poker is like fiction passed off as fact.

I stopped reading this article after being confused and then bored.

That’s funny, I thought this was spectacular. Great find, Tom!

I just don’t like Lewis’ writing.  No articulable reason.  I also don’t like pistachio ice cream, mushrooms, or olives.
