Why it's taking me forever to finish consuming this — 2 years ago
I know this book is very highly recommended. It is also 85% boring and 30% obvious. I picked this book as the first of a 3 part self tutoring exercise to revamp my financial plan. Bad strategy. It’s not that the book isn’t full of reasonable information. The problem is that reading it is like gargling with molasses. Perhaps it has just been revised too many times. It no longer seems to hold any sort of narrative shape – each chapter seems like a too long ramble about another errant avenue of investing. When does the knowledge kick in? I think I’m stalled out on chapter 5.
