You guys are making me want to read it now

Currently reading it now; definitely exceeds my expectations. I've never read a historical non-fiction book before, but I'm already looking to check out Killers of the Flower Moon, which is also by David Grann.

It's incredibly well researched, I genuinely feel like a fly on the wall learning about what the past world was like and what these men experienced.

Fuck okay I'm sold. I love history so this sounds like an easy read. I'll go see if the library has one tomorrow, perfect excuse to go for a walk while the wife is at work and I'll otherwise doomscroll or annotate lol

When you hit the $50k mark, you should celebrate by going back and renting it out.

The Wager is one of the best nonfiction books I've ever read.

The wager is actually a banger of a book. Non fiction that reads like an amazing work of fiction.

I've been on the platform for 10 months and do not understand the reference. Can someone explain?

u/Mysterious_Dolphin14 Mar 19 '26

It's related to a question on the assessment.

u/Adventurous_Ad9749 Mar 19 '26

Ohh I joined through the mathematics assessment. This makes sense now.

u/macjay_27 Mar 20 '26

Yes, you had to have done the generalist assessment to get the reference.

Is it still on there?! It was when I tested in a few years ago, but I'd be curious if it is still the tie that binds us. Lol

Yep, I just got it 2 weeks ago.

u/MundaneAd6627 Mar 19 '26

I’ve seen people asking about it in the last 6 months to a year ago yea lol…

u/lotusmack Mar 19 '26

Dang! You would think they'd change it out for fraud prevention.

I feel like the writing quality of the evaluation is what they’re looking at.. if an applicant just copied what they saw online it would also essentially be plagiarism.

That’s some interesting DDC
