What it is:
A Benjamin Franklin style (Junto) book club where I share whatever seems important from books I've read or courses I've taken. Anyone can participate although for now it seems like it's going to be just me.
What: A place where you can find summaries of the best bits of advice from books (and online courses, websites) about finance, any financial subject is allowed, yes, even trading psychology.
Where: Here in this thread
When: Whenever you want, that's the great thing about an internet book club. No desperate scramble to find a fifteen minute window where everyone's free to meet, and anyway, no one's really free to meet at the moment.
Why: To learn. To debate a book's good points. To share knowledge. To be useful and to get rich together.
Who: Anyone who can read English and follows the rules. See below.
Rules:
The man himself
Backstory:
The public library said I should start a book club during quarantine. I mostly want to read and talk about books about making money because the middle class is dying out and I'll be damned if I'm going to end up homeless huddling for warmth on a small section of a football field while my hungry kids look up at me with eyes full of scorn because I was reading the latest Witcher novel.
You should have been reading Benjamin Graham!
I've also learned a lot more useful technical knowledge from books than I have from days of reading internet forums.

- Books are a great source of useful information
- They are often too long (blame the publisher).
- Some books are not even worth the time it takes to read.
- Knowing what we can learn from the most important books, and avoiding the ones that are mostly charlatanry, is valuable.
