Finance must reads

post #1 of 25
Thread Starter 
Looking for non-text book style books on finance to read. I don't want to read personal investment strategy books. What I've read so far: When Genius Failed and Damn it Feels Good To Be A Banker. Books I've ordered: Liar's Poker, When Atlas Shrugged (doesnt really count), and Monkey Business. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. If there are any books, even text books, about energy trading I would also love to get my hands on those.

Read the Brookings report on the 2007/2008 meltdown. I'll find a link tomorrow hen I am sober. Uses a fair deal of technichal/specific language so I would recommend it only if you have a decent grasp of econ.

The newest and brightest troll has posted in my threak. This means the person pulling the strings has a knowledge/interest in finance.

Just read Liar's Poker tonight, my favorite so far.

Go into a large bookshop and go to the business section. I would suggest to be careful what you choose as their seems to be a prevalence of rockstar authors writing poorly written populist books given the shenanigans of the last 18months.

Browse Amazon and in particular other peoples reading lists.

Barbarians at the Gate is also not a bad read.

The Four Pillars of Investing - Bernstein (really good historical section)

Troll is thing in fairy tale which live under bridge, I not live under bridge(at least in this moment), but I am definitely not in any fairy tale and definitely not a troll creature! I have some knowledge or at least interest of much different subject, and I try to give you suggestion of book which I have read and recommend, and you must to accuse me to be some bad thing?!?
