Ben Mezrich is the author of something like nine books, but the most notable are the non-fiction titles Bringing Down The House, Ugly Americans, and Busting Vegas. Two of those are about MIT students who took Vegas and casino's around the world for millions based on their card counting and blackjack schemes. The other is about the Asian stock-market. Those three are great books, and I'm sure some of you have read them. Mezrich has a new book out now, Rigged : The True Story of an Ivy League Kid Who Changed the World of Oil, From Wall Street to Dubai. He was interviewed on Rome today to promote it, and I promptly bought it off of Amazon.

If you haven't read these yet, check them out.
