The latest book review here at Richer by the Day is A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel.
In this book, the author systematically disproves virtually all methods of predicting future stock performance. He goes beyond discrediting both technical and fundamental analysis to include more exotic methods as well. He shows how consistently beating [...]

Pay less and win the game of personal finances.
Todd at Harvesting Dollars contacted me today to tell me about a new meme he’s starting. With the upcoming summer Olympics, what financial games or tricks do you use to keep your finances in order? He saves his raises and doesn’t buy into lifestyle inflation. If you are good at that game, you are going to do pretty well. It’s a tough game to play and requires a lot of self-discipline.
My game: Can I Pay Less for That?
I don’t know too many who subscribe to the philosophy of [...]

Predictably Irrational made economics entertaining in much the same way as Freakonomics. The fact that I enjoyed both of these books probably indicates my appreciation of behavioral economics in general. In Predictably Irrational, author Dan Ariely presents counter-intuitive theories and backs them up with very interesting experiments. He seems to have one [...]

Freakonomics is a random and interesting look at the world through the eyes of a freak economist. I don’t mean freak in a bad way, just not “normal.” That’s the part that can take a potentially boring subject like economics and make it something that I would want to read.
The book is more [...]

Finally it is here - three years in the making - it will make its debut on May 16th 2008. What is it you ask? It is the book that is destined to become a bestseller (and I know ’cause I have read it 
- check out the Amazon page of The New Age of Innovation by Prof C K Prahalad and Prof M S Krishnan.
I have seen this book take shape for more than three years now. Prof Krishnan is of course my PhD advisor and I had the opportunity to do some background research for the book for him. This also meant that I could read all the work-in-progress manuscripts. At the end of this process, now that the book is finished and about to be launched, I have this immense sense of pride that comes from a job well done. Prof Prahalad and Prof Krishnan have achieved the holy grail of business books in this one - marry the top level vision with an implementable roadmap. This book is not just about the lofty ideas and strategic foresight (which it has in plenty, as you would expect of any book with Prahalad on the cover), it also goes deep in IT and Operations issues of how to implement the strategy - how to get the value and not just talk about it.
The book is available for pre-order on Amazon for 20 bucks. Run and reserve your copy. Now!

I came across this really nice website that helps catalog personal libraries: LibraryThing. I always wanted something like these to keep a record of all the books I buy or read. I am slowly indexing all my books. You can check my library at this link.
The site also provides this wonderful widget to put in blogs. You can configure this widget to show many interesting things. Right now if you look on the right hand column of this blog - you will see a random selection of books from my library. You can click on them and that takes you to Amazon, where you can read about the book.
