Did not like this story. It was full of stereotypes and I did not finish it.

This book is third in a series of five books: The Last Jihad; The Last Days; The Ezekiel Option; The Copper Scroll; Dead Heat. The first two were very good but I really enjoyed the Ezekiel Option quite a bit.

More about the exploits of the characters who live at 44 Scotland Street in Edinburgh. Lively, witty, amusing, and sometimes thoughtful. Gentle reminders about what is important in life find their way into the narrative. For example on p. 327: "Big Lou did not like conflict and estrangement--what was the point, she thought, in being at odds with those whom we should love when our time on this earth was so very short?" In fact, in trying to describe the writing of McCall Smith I would say that he is something of a Scottish Garrison Keillor. The book ends with an impromptu poem at the end of a toast to a friend who will be leaving Edinburgh. This sums up the feel of the book fairly well (and is also rather Keillor-esque): Dear one, how many years is it--I forget-- Since that luminous evening when you joined us In the celebration of whatever it was that we were celebrating--I forget-- It is a mark of a successful celebration That one should have little recollection of the cause; As long as the happiness itself remains a memory. Our tiny planet, viewed from afar, is a place of swirling clouds And dimmish blue; Scotland, though lodged large in all our hearts Is invisible at that distance, not much perhaps, But to us it is our all, our place, the opposite of nowhere; Nowhere can be seen by looking up And realising, with shock, that we really are very small; You would say, yes, we are, but never overcompensate, Be content with small places, the local, the short story Rather than the saga; take pleasure in private jokes, In expressions that cannot be translated, In references that can be understood by only two or three, But which speak with such eloquence for small places And the fellowship of those whom you know so well And whose sayings and moods are as familiar As the weather; these mean everything, They mean the world, they mean the world.

Of course, it's very good. But as of page 350, it has not spoken powerfully to me. I am waiting for 'the big bang'... Update: It never came.

Very bad. Only read if you are one of the last people on the planet who has no TV and cannot aimlessly watch hours of [fill in whatever mindless TV show your prefer].

My kids' first Literature Circle book of the year! Arnold Lobel is growing to be one of my favorite children's authors. I love how he combines simple, sight word text with his witty little plots of animal life.
Not a bad story line, but drags on a bit.

pp 83 is a discussion of S&L's failure in the US. pp 136 is the best explanation of CMO's I've ever read. Great read. Initially loaned to me by a coworker. I went out and bought it shortly thereafter. A former art student winds up becoming a bond salesman for Salomon Brothers in the mid 1980's. He sees a lot, and describes it vividly. Chernobyl. The October Crash of 1987. Gutfreund and Meriwether quibbling over how much to bet in one hand of the title game. He introduces some terms to the lexicon that persist to this day: BSD- as used in the movie Boiler Room. Good deal of relevant information for both the average investor as well as the seasoned professional. When the news about Chernobyl breaks Mike's good friend has some advice for him, "Buy potatoes." This is a powerful illustration of how traders, not investors, think. A spread, any spread...
