I love to read.

Greed is Good

Author Jonathan Hoenig wrote this book at age 23. It is a straightforward account of how to increase your wealth and uses examples from pop culture to illustrate his points. I picked this book up back in 1999 and loved it. I started adapting many of Hoenig’s principles and they have really been helpful throughout the years. Hoenig has a website called Capitalist Pig.com. The site also has an e-mail newsletter and Hoenig is now a Managing Member of a private investment partnership. I first saw him on some show on MTV, and since that time he has gone on to bigger and better things. This book, if you buy and read it has the no-nonsense approach to financial security and becoming an investor.

What is Drew Carey up to?

Since the Drew Carey show has been over and Who’s Line is in reruns, what is Drew up to these days. He had his Green Screen show but that flopped. I’d like to see him get back on TV in a show at some point. I know he’s made some appearances on the Blue Collar TV, I had a video of the Big Deck Sketch about a month or so ago on The BenSpark. I liked his standup act very much and wish he was doing more of that too. I was also a fan of his book Dirty Jokes and Beer. That was pretty funny. I should read that again. I just saw it in the massive pile of books on our bookcase of unread books. I’ll get to them someday.
