Seabiscuit’s one-on-one race with War Admiral was the Pacquio v Mayweather of its day. ![]() Despite the ever-present risk of him being scratched from a race before it began, tens of thousands flocked to see him every time.

Poetry came naturally to Ovid, who at his best is lively, graphic and lucid. Ovid's main surviving works are the Metamorphoses, a source of inspiration to artists and poets including Chaucer and Shakespeare the Fasti, a poetic treatment of the Roman year of which Ovid finished only half the Amores, love poems the Ars Amatoria, not moral but clever and in parts beautiful Heroides, fictitious love letters by legendary women to absent husbands and the dismal works written in exile: the Tristia, appeals to persons including his wife and also the emperor and similar Epistulae ex Ponto. He continued writing poetry, a kindly man, leading a temperate life. Born of an equestrian family in Sulmo, Ovid was educated in rhetoric in Rome but gave it up for poetry. Famous at first, he offended the emperor Augustus by his Ars Amatoria, and was banished because of this work and some other reason unknown to us, and dwelt in the cold and primitive town of Tomis on the Black Sea.

He shamelessly plugs his books, board games, and website, but it works he sells tons of them, and I put several more of his books on my to-read list. It definitely was! Kiyosaki admits that he's not the best writer, and I agree, but he has a compelling way of teaching important business and financial lessons through stories about his past.
