Nice! As a sci-fi fan, I wonder if you happen to know if Asimov's Robot series or Yevgeny Zamyatin's
We
still hold up? I'm considering adding both to my reading list. Beyond Bradbury, Huxley and Vonnegut, my sci-fi reading has been rather limited.

I've never read those so I couldn't tell you. Asimov's Foundation series on Apple TV was great though.
Arthur C. Clarke was always my favorite sci-fi author. Rendezvous With Rama, Childhood's End, and 2001 are probably his best but some of the short stories he wrote were pretty good too. -

the great crash/depression book is quite interesting. our modern curse of " credit" came from 2 guys involved in the then exploding car industry, with a parallel development in the stock market, which, for all purposes, was incredibly unregulated.
the only negative on the book is that sorkin did the 'kitchen remodeling' approach: he has soooooo many characters in the narrative that its like a pynchon novel. -
