What are some good books portraying an accurate picture of the current state of Wall Street?
What are your opinions of: Colossal Failure, House of Cards, Too Big to Fail, and others?






I would like to know as well
I would like to know as well but I would like a current book more like from the view of one person (similar to Liars Poker and Monkey Business) but written within the past few years. Preferably about banking and not trading.

Street Fighters
If you're looking for something like Liar's Poker, Street Fighters was a really enjoyable read. It's all about the last 72 hours of Bear Stearns. Not long on technical detail, but a really quick read.
Street Fighters: The Last 72 Hours of Bear Stearns, the Toughest Firm on Wall Street
I'll look into Street
I'll look into Street Fighters Edmundo, anyone have other suggestions?

I liked ScoopBooks Guide to I-banking. I found it to help a lot.

The Last Tycoons (same author as House of Cards which I think is written extremely well)
