No one likes paying taxes. That’s one of the few truths which has been around for as many thousands of years as taxes have ever existed. I’m no different, and in preparation for a prospectively giant financial event, I’ve been eager to try to find any tricks, workarounds, or ideas (short of outright fraud) to help reduce the tax consequences to the Knight household. I bought every book on Amazon that was highly-rated and addressed this topic.
One of the funny aspects of meeting 5-star Sloper Xerxes in person a few days ago was that almost every topic that came up would compel me to interject, “I wrote about that in my novel!” It’s true. Solid State, at almost 600 pages, contains just about everything I believe and know, and I was reminded of this with the infographic below, since I also refer to the fact that kids today (yeah, yeah……..) don’t even know the difference between a nail and a screw.
I know many folks here have read my novel, and I truly hope you enjoyed it. If so, I need a small favor.
Solid State is now available in hardcover on Amazon, and although it has received good reviews (average 4.7 stars), I could use some more! (Some of you have left good reviews already, but there’s bound to be more!)
If you would please take a minute to leave a brief review by clicking here, it would really help me. Thank you!
Just to come right to the point, you should buy the new book The Big Print. It’s outstanding, and the country would be better off if every single citizen read and understood it. That’ll never happen, of course, but one can always dream. Anyway, let me back up a bit.
A couple of weeks ago, when I was on Amazon, The Big Print was presented to me as a recommended purchase. I was intrigued by the title, and after reading a brief summary (and seeing the good reviews), I decided to buy it. It arrived a couple of days later, and once I started reading it, I had trouble putting it down.
It didn’t start off great, because when I read the Foreword to the book, it was made plain to me that this would be a celebration of Bitcoin and its opportunity to save us all. I had already purchased and read enough Bitcoin books to not want to endure another sermon, but I decided to press on, and I’m glad I did.
