My wife and I were staying at a hotel that had a bookshelf in the lobby where you could borrow a book. I saw a book called "Liar's Poker" by Michael Lewis. This was at least 25 years ago so I had not read any of his books yet. I liked it so much that having read half of it while we were there, I asked the hotel clerk if I could take the book when we left so I could finish it, and they graciously said yes. I have since read almost all of his books.

I'm not familiar with him but reading through his biography, it's interesting he was able to pivot from being an art historian to a writer. Well, they must be great books if some of them became movies. I know I've heard of the movie Big Short at least.

I believe he also did a stint as an investment banker somewhere in there.
