About Michael's list
"I'm Michael Lewis. I'm the author of books like The Big Short, Liar's Poker, Going Infinite, Moneyball, and so on. I listen to books on Audible, but I'm going to give you some books that I have not listened to yet because they're books I read when I was a kid, mostly — before the age of 25. They're books that I remember chiefly for the emotion generated in me: It was laughter. These are 5 books where I remember my stomach hurting from laughing so hard reading these things. I am actually going to listen to these on Audible because I want to see if the effect they had on me when I read them back when I was a kid is sustained when I'm listening to them now." —Michael Lewis, author of The Big Short-
