Where I heard about it
- Recommended by Zack Kanter in a May 2020 reply on X listing books he’d recommend (saved in Kyle’s Roam notes, May 11th, 2020).
- My own bookshelf — a book I own but haven’t read: the literal anti-library case, bought and shelved rather than recommended.
- In Patrick O’Shaughnessy’s Full Reading List (Investor Field Guide, 2016) — the archive of his monthly book-club recommendations, saved by Kyle in April 2020 — Full Reading List (Investor Field Guide).
- Unknown — saved again as an Amazon link to my “Things to read” note, October 2023.
