Liars Poker

“I sat down to read Michael Lewis's Liar's Poker and I became incredibly enamored with finance and the world of markets.”

“My junior year, a good friend of mine gave me a book. He's like, "I think you'll like this." And it was Liar's Poker. I read it in one night. Literally, it was a party that night, and I stayed in my room, read the book in one sitting. I know Michael Lewis thought it was a way to dissuade people, but I took it the other way. I liked math, I liked puzzles, I liked risk in a sense, learned how to play poker with my grandparents when I was young.”
