Book Description
Book Jacket:From taking $2 horse bets at his uncle's newsstand in Chicago's downtown district as a nine-year-old in the 1940s, to taking $20,000 Super Bowl bets from traders on the floor at one of Chicago's Exchanges, Anthony Serrano has seen every bet and every character that comes with them-some loved, and some who wield machine guns.Serrano, a lifelong resident of Chicago's Chinatown, takes readers on a story about his childhood experience with a book-maker, in the army, as an options clerk and broker and as a railroad clerk. Where it seemed everyone just couldn't resist the thrill of a good (or bad) bet.Told first-hand, Serrano walks us through light-hearted tales that often lead to funny yet sometimes serious circumstances.After taking steep bets from what appeared to be a wealthy businessman, Serrano is exposed to what turns out to be a drug-crazed, bankrupt husband who will stop at nothing to get his ex-wife back and suffers a brutal fate in his pursuit. Meanwhile, Serrano is swept into this drama after the husband cannot pay back a bet.Serrano also explains how his experience as a bookie gave him an advantage while in the army, giving him job opportunities that few other reserves had.He tells how his investment in a Lounge in Cicero, Illinois, welcomes some threatening and dangerous company, and how his neighborhood connections may have saved his life.From being shaken down by Chicago Police for "their" share of the action from a bookie on the railroads to trying to rescue a dear friend from financial ruins in the commodity markets in 1980s, we see a self-made man who has an unusual grace in pressure situations and an affinity for forging friendships with the most unlikely of characters, resulting in some fascinating tales.

Book Description
Money. Gobs of it. In the blink of an eye - or the drop of a ball— it's all yours. Everyone dreams about striking it rich by winning a lottery. We all feverishly line up to purchase our tickets, and watch TV or scan the newspapers to see if we have won, even though the odds are better that we will be struck by lightning. Still, we perservere, because no matter what else happens this week, you can be sure that someone, somewhere, will win the big one. Lotteries are an unparalleled popular phenomenon. But what happens after the winners are revealed, and the checks have been issued? How does winning a lottery change one's life? Luck of the Draw profiles past winners of big lotteries, and how their windfall impacted their lives, mostly for the better, but interestingly sometimes for the worse, such was the case of a Florida widow who won $5 million in 1984; three years later, she lost her mansion and fancy cars, and owed the IRS $500,000 for back taxes. Eventually she was arrested for trying to hire a contract killer to take out her daughter-in-law, whom she blamed for her lottery misfortune. The book also depicts the past, present and future of lotteries in North America and the world over, and includes a special chapter on the revived phenomenon of big-time TV game show winners. Who wants to be a millionaire? Seemingly, everyone. In a country where eighty percent of adults have played a lottery, creating a multi-billion dollar industry, Luck of the Draw is an insightful inside look at lotteries, its winners, and its losers.

Book Description
The creator of Deadwood and NYPD Blue reflects on his tumultuous life, driven by a nearly insatiable creative energy and a matching penchant for self-destruction. Life’s Work is a profound memoir from a brilliant mind taking stock as Alzheimer’s loosens his hold on his own past. “This is David Milch’s farewell, and it will rock you.”—Susan Orlean, author of The Orchid Thief ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR, USA Today, Kirkus Reviews “I’m on a boat sailing to some island where I don’t know anybody. A boat someone is operating and we aren’t in touch.” So begins David Milch’s urgent accounting of his increasingly strange present and often painful past. From the start, Milch’s life seems destined to echo that of his father, a successful if drug-addicted surgeon. Almost every achievement is accompanied by an act of self-immolation, but the deepest sadnesses also contain moments of grace. Betting on racehorses and stealing booze at eight years old, mentored by Robert Penn Warren and excoriated by Richard Yates at twenty-one, Milch never did anything by half. He got into Yale Law School only to be expelled for shooting out streetlights with a shotgun. He paused his studies at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop to manufacture acid in Cuernavaca. He created and wrote some of the most lauded television series of all time, made a family, and pursued sobriety, then lost his fortune betting horses just as his father had taught him. Like Milch’s best screenwriting, Life’s Work explores how chance encounters, self-deception, and luck shape the people we become, and wrestles with what it means to have felt and caused pain, even and especially with those we love, and how you keep living. It is both a master class on Milch’s unique creative process, and a distinctive, revelatory memoir from one of the great American writers, in what may be his final dispatch to us all.
