What Book Are You Currently Reading ?

Post by AbdiWahab252 »

I am currently reading a book called "The Ascent of Money" by Niall Ferguson. It is about finance, how money came around, how paper notes replaced gold/silver/bronze, and challenges your basic beliefs about money.

Awesome book, I can calculate things at the speed of light now, e.g. (3,876,212 * 7214) / 321 within 5 seconds without paper :up:

The book introduces a magnificent math system which is mind boggling, a Russian Jew developed it while he was in a concentration camp during World War II to keep his mind fresh.

Sounds interesting. Now I can upgrade my rusty memory system if what you said holds true.

I used it mainly to prepare for my GMAT exam, got a perfect score on the Maths part which is very rare.

Touche, although I may just say I never agree with anything Mr waraabe says. While you on the other hand, are just as bad as afweynes illegitimate children when you refer Mr aidid as "the mahdi". :mrgreen:

Ganjaweed,

I wonder how a darkie like you would have done during that period of time. Would you have been accepted as an equal or treated like an Cabiid :?
