Title: Enjoyable Read
Post by: Sandman on May 23, 2004, 11:11:19 PM

I just finished Bringing Down The House (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0743249992/qid=1085371784/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_1/002-5044826-6096058?v=glance&s=books&n=507846). It's an interesting book about some MIT students that took millions playing blackjack in Vegas.

It's worth reading... non-fiction, but it went by fairly quickly.

Didnt they make a movie about that?

I think it was revenge of the Nerd's in Vegas.

It was just on TV last week. Was pretty good. Think it was the history channel.

Hmmm.. I wasn't aware of a movie, but I do recall reading an article (http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/10.09/vegas.html) on Wired.
