Changing World Order: Why Nations Succeed or Fail by Ray Dalio  A quick summary in the video: About the author: Raymond Thomas Dalio (born August 8, 1949)[1] is an American billionaire investor and hedge fund manager, who has served as co-chief investment officer of the world's largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates, since 1985. He founded Bridgewater in 1975 in New York. A $5 million investment from the World Bank's retirement fund was made within five years.[2][3] His innovations are regarded as some of the best in the industry, having popularized many commonly used practices, such as risk parity, currency overlay, portable alpha and global inflation-indexed bond management.[4] Dalio was born in New York City and attended C.W. Post College of Long Island University before receiving an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1973. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Dalio | |||

| I'm currently reading Battle Chasers now that issue 10 has finally been released after more than 20 years. 🤣 I've read some previews about the latest issue before I checked it myself and I have to admit that most of the reviews were right. Lullabi's artwork isn't as good as Madureira's but for me personally it's good enough. I've read Grimm Fairy Tales and the art in some of them doesn't even come close to issue 10 of Battle Chasers. Mostly I just want to know how Gully's travels end anyway so it's all good to me. 😁 I've uploaded issue 000/010 here, in case anyone's interested: https://torrentgalaxy.to/torrent/15446384/Battle-Chasers---Issue-000-010---Anthology----ENG---SoushkinBoudera- | |

| 2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson.  I've never been so confused by a sci-fi novel. It intentionally throws you in the deep end by not explaining a lot about the society. It also uses a LOT of very big words that I don't know. I'm not used to that and I can't help but feel it is intentional. The reader feels alienated. Woell, I do... maybe it's just early onset dementia.  | |

| Michio Kaku: The God Equation The epic story of the greatest quest in all of science - the holy grail of physics that would explain the creation of the universe - from renowned theoretical physicist and author of The Future of the Mind and The Future of Humanity When Newton discovered the law of gravity, he unified the rules governing the heavens and the Earth. Since then, physicists have been placing new forces into ever-grander theories. But perhaps the ultimate challenge is achieving a monumental synthesis of the two remaining theories - relativity and the quantum theory. This would be the crowning achievement of science, a profound merging of all the forces of nature into one beautiful, magnificent equation to unlock the deepest mysteries in science: What happened before the Big Bang? What lies on the other side of a black hole? Are there other universes and dimensions? Is time travel possible? Why are we here? Kaku also explains the intense controversy swirling around this theory, with Nobel laureates taking opposite sides on this vital question. It is a captivating, gripping story; what’s at stake is nothing less than our conception of the universe. Written with Kaku’s trademark enthusiasm and clarity, this epic and engaging journey is the story of The God Equation.

| I visit the library often and I am currently reading The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the first time. I'm halfway through reading it and I didn't realize it was such a short book. I like it, but I'm not sure what makes it a classic. I do like the 1980 leather-bound collector's edition published by The Easton Press I checked out though. | |

| I spoke too soon. It turned into a total bore that I dropped it with 20 pages left. | |
