Hi there,
Loving this challenge. I did the Iris live course and it is great to keep my skills polished, as well as reading good books. Thanks!
Is the Accelareader available in an off-line version, so I could read on the subway?
Thanks!

Agreed. The Richest Man in Babylon is probably one of my favorite non-fiction books. The main takeaway for me has always been “10% of what you make is your’s to keep.” Such a simple, but powerful principle for saving money.
