A student of mine called another of North Carolina author David Payne's David Payne books his favorite of all time, so I had to read his work. I researched this author and found he'd written five books to-date, so I ordered all five and am savoring my way through them as we speak.
I began with a used edition of Confessions of a Taoist of Wall Street (get it Tao of the Dow?) and found it to be a laugh-out-loud-alone-in-the-middle-of-the-night funny book. While this is a first work and about 100 pages longer than it needs to be, it was a fantastic book, and well worth the effort of finding out-of-print from a used bookseller.
Best of all, Payne has improved with time, and each of his books is full of wonderful, colorful, and sometimes gritty language that cuts-to-the-chase and puts you right in the place he wants you.
I love this author and can't wait for him to write more and more. He is a gem destined for literary greatness.
