Newer books like "Rise & fall of LTCM" and "Liars Poker"
Both books are dated, but talk about the 90's and 80's. Anything out that's similar in style but focusing on the past decade?

The Big Short...written by Lewis, who wrote Liar's Poker.
The
The book about the fall of Lehman Brothers - A Colossal Failure of Common Sense: The Inside Story of the Collapse of Lehman Brothers
Also there are two books about the fall of Bear Stearns Street fighters and House of Cards
Any one of these books would make decent holiday reading.
NIce picks
Street Fighters
Its about the fall of Bear Stearns...good read
The books are all exactly the same. Same exact story, same cast of characters, same everything. There are so many damn authors trying to capitalize on this one event it truly befuddles me.
It's analogous to being at a party where a fight breaks out and the cops get called. The police come in and interview everyone, and all 30 tell a different story about things that happened at the party, who they were personally hanging out with, what type of beer they were drinking, so forth and so on. It's juts 30 different accounts of the same damn fight and events surrounding the event!
If you have read on, you've read them all
^^I am reading The big short. Read "Too big to Fail" and "House of Cards". They are all different in a way.
"Too big to fail", is most about Paulson, and gives a background of all the major CEOs, and just how each firm in time of war.
"House of Cards" focuses on Bear Sterns history, and its history is very unique from various firms. Cayne was once the highest paid CEO on the street.
"The big short" is about unknown guys shorting subprime.
I can't believe no one said "The Zeroes"
Monkey business, The last man standing., King of Oil
definitely second the zeroes. if you are looking for a book chronicling the past decade, this book literally does that, and does it quite well.
traders, guns and money----great book
cityboy; beer and loathing in the square mile
more laughs than liars poker. you may have to get it from amazon uk. anybody else read it?
The Greatest Trade Ever The Predator's Ball
By "Too big to fail" do you mean the Sorkin version or the Stern, Feldman one?
The Quants by Scott Patterson (Currently writing a book focused on HFT which should be pretty interesting) Diary of a Very Bad Year - Confessions of an Anonymous Hedge Fund Manager
Second Colossal Failure and Big Short
The Quants was good the first couple chapters but I got kind of bored tbh
Traders, Guns and Money is a must for anyone thinking about trading
