On our TBR list this weekend: At least one of us is stuck reading about transfer pricing this morning (trust us, you don’t want to know) and plans to cleanse his brain afterward by re-reading Barbarians at the Gate, a classic from 1989 that created the genre of “inside the deal” business reporting we know today. It combines larger-than-life business personalities, phenomenal writing and a dose of 1980s nostalgia — what’s not to love? If you, like us, missed it the first time around, it’s a great way to kill a quiet Friday afternoon.
