Hi.
I'm a massive fan of books involving the main characters of a novel, working their way to making their fortune and always looking for ways to invest it and making more.
I've read a few books that follow along this premise and i prefer the historical ones to be honest. I would prefer ones involving the main character looking to trade and invest more if possible.
