| | Amazon.com: Books: Liar's Poker: Rising Through the Wreckage of Wall Street (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | As described by Lewis, liar's poker is a game played in idle moments by workers on Wall Street, the objective of which is to reward trickery and deceit. |
 | | Ranieri, a college dropout, got his start in Salomon Bros mailroom in 1968 and managed, in 10 years, to become the head of their Mortgage department. |
 | | I perservered and was rewarded with an engaging, enjoyable second half of Liar's Poker which focuses on Lewis's evolution from trading floor "geek" to his final status as the ultimate trader, a "Big Swinging Dick." Excellent book whether you're into the stock market or not. |
