The Cuban Affair

By Nelson DeMille,

Book cover of The Cuban Affair

Peter Tanous ❤️ loved this book because...

Nelson DeMille died this year, and what a loss. In a word. he is the wittiest writer I have ever read. His main character, John Corey, thinks hysterical thoughts and spouts hilarious dialog. The plot is terrific, as is the case with all of DeMIlle's books. But what captivated me was the laugh-out-loud dialog. I miss him already.

My 2nd favorite read in 2024

Warriors of God

By James Reston,

Book cover of Warriors of God: Richard the Lionheart and Saladin in the Third Crusade

Peter Tanous ❤️ loved this book because...

I surprised myself by reading a book about the Third Crusade in the 11th Century. So much to learn that I didn't know! The main characters are Richard the Lionheart, who leads the crusade, and Saladin, the great leader who defends against the Crusaders. You come away with enormous respect for both men and the struggles they endured. Richard the Lionheart was the son of Eleanor of Aquitaine, who is the subject of her many biographies and maybe I'll read those next.

The Pure Equity Plus Plan: Your Path to a Multi-Million Dollar Retirement

By Peter J. Tanous,

Book cover of The Pure Equity Plus Plan: Your Path to a Multi-Million Dollar Retirement

What is my book about?

I've been in the investment business for over 50 years. It took me that long to find the pure and simple way for young investors to invest painlessly to retire with a multi-million dollar portfolio. No one can predict the future, and investing in the stock market involves risk. But what I have going for me is over 100 years of history of stock market performance on which my recommendations are based.
