Just finished reading The Big Rich by Burrough. Great book. Similar books I’ve read are Too Big to Fail, Bad Blood, anything by Michael Lewis, Taking of Getty Oil, etc. Any recommendations based on those types of books would be great. Thanks! by Wat-the-heck Related: Non-fantasy/scifi fiction novel with a main character who is crafting, building, tinkering a lot e.g. a kid during summer vacation building treehouses, gadgets in his freetime. I’m looking for something that a teenage boy who is into videogames would love to read. Recommendation needed – something like The Ploughmen Suggest me a book which entirely changed your perspective on life Our Wives Under the Sea Looking for erotica books with yoga instructor and therapist themes?
