"Anthropology of an American Girl"
Hilary Thayer Hamann earned a cult following after she self-published her debut novel, "Anthropology of an American Girl
Hamman's editor, Cindy Speigel, says she would have published the book back in 2003. She hopes that other writers won't take such a "heroic approach" to getting their work in print. She'd rather authors let publishers and editors do their jobs, so that writers can concentrate on writing.
Hamman and Speigel both say that the newly edited version makes a better book, and makes the story of an teenage American girl worthy of high literary praise rather than just another addition to already bursting chick-lit shelves at the bookseller.

There are books, books, and books on investing. I've been reading them for 40 years. The best is Steven Selengut's The Brainwashing of the American Investor (rev ed 2007), exposing what Wall Street was doing, and still is, and gives you common-sense investing programs that work and result in fine returns. If you'd been following his advice, it would have saved you from the worst in the 2008 crash, will in the ones certain to follow.
Over 25 years of investing I have read countless books on different ways of making money in the Market, but the book by Selengut (make sure that it is the latest edition) was a revelation to me. The book describes a comprehensive detailed plan for overall investing, a two prong strategy for income investing (Which has paid off handsomely for me) and a method of building up equity in the stock market that is sound common sense.
By far the best investment book I have read.
I read Steve Selengut's original "Brainwashing of the American Investor" twice and that convinced me that I wanted him working with our investments. In a recent chat with Steve I had some questions. He suggested that I check out the revised edition. I enjoyed this version even more. He is not quite so "in your face" and explains evaluating his system more clearly. I highly recommend the second book.
I would agree with Matt Melendy's suggustion of "The Brainwashing of the American Investor" The book provides perspective and a methodology that you can implement. It is actually amazing that there is so much value in a book that looks small in size versus other choices within the investments category.
"Paper Towns" by John Green. Romance, mystery, and a Walt Whitman poem. What could be better?
The original publishing of "The Brainwashing of the American Investor" by Steven R. Selengut was released in 2001. The book was both informative and entertaining, however, the re-release by W&A Publishing in 2007 was a blockbuster updated to expose the current dirty tricks of Wall Street. Those who read and learned from Steven R. Selengut's "The Brainwashing of the American Investor" should have escaped the devistating consequences of the recent financial crisis and subsequent market crash.
