I don’t read a lot of books and when I do they usually have to be non-fiction and/or biographies. It takes a lot for me to pick one up on recommendation and, when I do get to that point, I usually don’t get past half way. I’m happy to say that this is not the case with the current book I am reading which I seem to be FLYING through!

I got it from The Marketer, (who got it from Craig Banks) – and it’s called The Wolf of Wall Street

The Wolf of Wall Street
By Jordan Belfort

The true story was the inspiration for the movie “Boiler Room” with Ben Affleck and has everything you’re looking for. Money, drugs, sex, crime, a 170-foot motor yacht, a Gulfstream jet, hookers, helicopters, a $700,000 hotel bill and it all came crashing down on him!

Here is a review I found for you on bloggingstocks:

Jordan Belfort was the king of pump-and-dumps during the 1990’s, presiding over Stratton Oakmont, a real life version of Boiler Room’s J.T. Marlin. He was earning millions of dollars each month, doing enormous quantities of cocaine and a drug called Quaaludes, and sleeping with dozens of prostitutes, in spite of his marriage to a beautiful and wonderful lady he calls the Duchess of Bay Ridge.

Eventually the Feds caught up with him, and Belfort was indicted on charges including securities fraud and money laundering. He managed to serve just 22 months in a federal prison camp after serving as a government witness. Now out of jail, Belfort has written a book about his reign at the top: The Wolf of Wall Street: Stock Market Multimillionaire at 26, Federal Convict at 36, I Partied Like a Rock Star, Lived like a King, and Barely Survived My Rise and Fall as an American Entrepreneurial Icon.

And what a reign it was. Belfort’s 519-page memoir contains a seemingly infinite series of tales about drug abuse, trips to Switzerland to launder money, lurid scenes with prostitutes, and other narcotics-fueled debauchery.

Again, it’s ALL true!

If any of that appeals to you then I suggest you get this book ASAP.

Oh, and there is a sequel as well which my dad says is just as good. It’s called Catching the Wolf of Wall Street.
