Best books for investing knowledge

Hi monkeys! 

I took a dive into investing literature recently and to my surprise I found a lot of the "must-read" books to be a bit underwhelming really. Ben Graham's "Intelligent Investor" seemed out of touch with today's investing environment, and other books like "the man who made the markets" or "rich dad poor dad" etc. seemed either like a biography or worse yet just a juxtaposition of trivialities. 

I was hoping that you guys might have better literature ideas? Could be anything from CFA-like theory to literature on thematic investment topics (EV, digitalization, central banking/inflation, China, ....)
