Vanguard mutual funds are your best bet if you don’t think the stock market is going to collapse any time soon
They’re a solid 5-7% return on average
Stop playing this infernal game
Anyone wanna play some fn?
Anyone here have any mystery novel recommendations? Am wrapping up all the Nero Wolfe I have access to, have already been through all the big names now...
Full on novel or short story
Either-or.
There’s a really really good Sherlock one that I can go find the name of
“The Adventure of the Speckled Band”
Agatha Christie.
Anything I can get my bookwormy little paws on. I've probably read it, I've been through most of Sir A. Conan Doyle's writings
Ahh you read that one?
It’s a pretty popular one
@Alphonsus I've read some, but that's a good point- I'll get back into it
Honestly, her literature was pretty powerful.
And yeah, good story. I like Holmes
Agreed
When I was in high school, I played a character in a play of hers
An Appointment with Death
You just really into mystery?
I had such a bad time memorizing my lines that I carried a book around (fit the character) with my lines in it just in case
@shinjitsu I go through phases, on and off stuff; been in mystery before, this bout has been a couple months. I'm a film guy too, my last phase before mystery was Western movies, watched all the great Eastwoods and Waynes and all that
Nice that’s pretty cool
They’re always fun to read I just never pick them up for whatever reason
Fair enough
My top genera of fictions is definitely science fiction

Asimov, Bradbury, Heinlein, Philip K. Dick, H.G. Wells, Verne, Clarke (not a big Clarke fan but I read everything of his dammit), Crichton...
Plus much more
Damn
Thing is, in middle school and high school I read voraciously. I'd go through a couple books a week usually. So you get a lot in

For a couple months, I looked up bestselling sci-fi books from each year, 1930-1990, and read all of them. Some were hot trash, but most were alright
I love Asimov, probably my favorite author
