Another great book: 'The wolf of Wall Street'

I'm reading a crackin book: ' The wolf of Wall Street' by Jordan Belfort.
It's the autobiography of Jordan Belfort, who at 31 was a top broker in Wall Street, raking in fortunes. Having started really young as an apprentice, he moved all the way up until he created is own company that became a leading one in Wall Street.
With a beatiful model for a wife, Jordan was making millions a month... most of the times not using the most 'acceptable tactics', finding ways around rules, legislations and laws, and most of the time breaking them... His personal life was absolutely mental! He was consuming hundreds of drugs, frequently using prostitutes, and in the process destroying his boat, helichopter...
Working for his company was everything but the 'normal 9 to 5'. The stories are hilarious.

Now you might have heard this story before. The catchy part of this book is the way it is written. Fully honest, this guy is also extremely funny, providing a really cracking read. The writing is really good and straightforward.

Really, just pick it up in a book store and read a couple of pages. I haven't been able to put it down.
