whats up buddy, came across your post
if you just want an easy read try one of the first two
1. amarillo slim in a world full of fat people: the memoirs of the worlds greatest gambler who ever lived. (great book and a book that will keep you reading from start to finish)
2. john daly, my life in and out of the rough (another good book and easy read that is not so much about gambling but if you know john you know he is a guy who gambles and has some great life stories)
3. one of a kind: the rise and fall of stu ungar, worlds greates poker player
4. poker face of wall street. ( not a book on poker really, more of risk taking and calculating odds and finance) cool book
5. the banker, the professor and the suicide kings
if you want a good book off topic that will be a long read but awesome book
