Risk and age
The Affluent investor by Phil Demuth
The big take home is the need for your portfolio to change with your age. The book has a wider general knowledge approach than techniques. The book does use studies from economists to arrive at the 'to dos'. Most of the studies reveal that the obvious isnt right. Take for example, the returns of small value stocks. To know the study, you would have to read 'The cross section of expected stock returns' in the journal of finance. The book is easier than that article. The strength of the book lies in simplifying the research to make it relevant to the common man in the dark of the latest studies in investing.
The chapter on how different investors by trade (doctors, lawyers, celebs) make different kind of customers is comic.

Good fences make good neighbours?
Neighbor Law
I am always amazed, each time I meet a section of Law - Elder Law.
A while ago, a colleague showed a picture of his gutted pool that had a leak beacuse of roots from his neighbours tree. I was interested in the law aspect of it.
Fruits and leaves trespassing is obvious. But the roots action is going on undeground.

If businesses at home generate traffic, like day care centers, beauty shops then they are in trouble. Writers and artists can work from home.

Dry wall lift. As amazing as the garbage collecting machine.
Dry wall panels are bent up with weight placed in the center so they can be pasted on arches.
