Have you read The Trading Game yet? Gary comes from poverty but ends up in a real life rags to riches tale that takes him right to the heart of international banking. It’s funny & fascinating - a behind the scenes exposé of the greed, excess + debauchery that goes on behind the trading floors. 💙📚

It's 17 years from Bilbo's birthday to when Gandalf returns—but it's less than a year from Frodo leaving Bag End to the destruction of the One Ring. Just a little reminder that events can take a long time to build, but when the boulder gets a-rolling, things come to a head awfully quickly.
