Review:
This book is absolutely the best about "slang" that I have ever seen. Every "slang" word that I can think of is in here.
If you need books for an interesting read or to help with teaching English then this is one of those you must have.

SOROS: The Unauthorized Biography, the Life, Times and Trading Secrets of the World's Greatest Investor
This interesting, readable, unauthorized biography of George Soros traces the life of a successful money manager across two continents. A blue-eyed, blond boy who enjoyed playing a Hungarian version of Monopoly in Budapest soon was delivering deportation notices to other Hungarian Jews after the Jewish Council of Budapest recruited children for that task. After WWII, Soros waited tables in London before enrolling in the London School of Economics. He came to New York in 1956 armed with a competitive edge?a knowledge of the European financial markets. This insight and his ability to discern long-term trends enabled him to become a successful investor and later successfully manage the Quantum Fund, according to Slater, a reporter for Time magazine. The life and times of George Soros are indeed interesting, but the "trading secrets" of the title are based more on his intuition than on objective evidence. An example: when choosing stocks in an industry, pick two?the best and the worst. The reader is left without further guidance in applying this rule (e.g., what is the worst software company?). Read this biography to learn about the interesting life of a successful financial manager rather than specific steps on how you too can successfully manage money.
Double Your Dating
The title says it all. The book has some practical advice on dating. It talks about things like how to talk to women/girls. How to dress. It is an interesting insight on women psychology.
Invisible Giants:Fifty Americans Who Shaped the Nation but Missed the History Books
An amazingly diverse gallery of important yet underappreciated Americans.
This book is such a fun, interesting read. Not only are you introduced to 50 very interesting characters from history, but the famous people selecting them have written wonderful introductions to their biographies.
