American Sucker
Started out great and I was really excited about it, but the author just gets so sidetracked so easily. I read this book to hear about his adventures in the stock market but instead was only given tiny tastes of that buried underneath a lot of commentary about mundane things in life. It's like he would be talking about stocks and then just got off on some random tangent about his sons or his failed marriage or a party he attended.
If this book had not lost its focus I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more. It likely would have been a candidate for a 4 or even 5 star rating but between the tangents and the often needlessly complex languages, metaphors, and other literary distractions I was disappointed.
