Been years since I read this book. But you would identify more closely with Michael Burry. Obsessive & reclusive. Studied medicine not because he liked it but because it was easy.

Would stay up between 14 hour hospital rounds and take apart his computer to make it run faster.

They had him see a psychologist who diagnosed him as bipolar. Autistic?

Dude had a glass eye. Kept popping out when he tried sports.

Reading financial reports was a good day for him. How you translate this to the screen idk.

Skip to latter half of this article for a character sketch of this guy.

Book is fantastic. Always timely. About to dust off Liars Poker again.
