<snipping lots of general discussion>
In approximately one week, I'll be done with my actuarial exam, and will
actually have time to read for pleasure. All this discussion about Banks
has officially whetted my appetite to give this guy a try, despite my
initial apprehension that his style is not necessarily my mug of pekoe
black.
So my question is, what book would you knowledgable folks suggest as the one
that you'd suggest as the "starter," one that'll grab a reader unfamiliar
with his work.
Thanks!
Jim
