Lately I've been enjoying " Fortune's Formula", talks about the history behind mobsters, rigging track betting through wire services, bootlegging, the early uses of computer science, the origins of " Beat the Dealer", how the Kelly criteria came to be, and the various figures related around the subject. Hard to put down, just $9 for Kindle.

I thought this was a topic for OFF TOPIC books.

My favorite is: Isaac Asimoc: Foundation Trilogy.
Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Foundation

All of the books that i have read by WILBUR are epic.
My favorites include the egyptian series. "RIVER GOD" , "THE SEVENTH SCROLL", "WARLOCK" and "THE QUEST"
