Pickpick

5⭐️ Zola was definitely a master in researches. He captured everything about the capital market in the 19th century, and described most of the undertakings (front-running, leveraged trading, IPO, insider-trading, etc) flawlessly. Greed and FOMO still rule the financial world now, so this drama is totally relatable. Another satisfying read from this series, and I‘m now craving for more. Next: The Dream

BarbaraBB Wow five stars!! 4y

BarbaraBB ... but bailed on 4y
BarbaraBB I‘ve heard many good things about this one so I guessed that would be my next but now your review is tempting too: 4y
sisilia @BarbaraBB Oh yes, Germinal is the most popular. I‘m working in finance, so Money really hits home for me 4y
BarbaraBB I can imagine! Have you read Germinal? 4y
sisilia @BarbaraBB Not yet. I follow Zola‘s recommended reading order, so I have 11 books to read before I get to read Germinal 🤪 4y
BarbaraBB Wow, he wrote so many? Quite ambitious you are! I‘ll follow your thoughts. 4y

It‘s 10PM, and I‘m already in bed. This week is so tiring; I barely read anything! (Wait, it‘s only Wednesday?!!)
