Good Books?

For IB, the rosenbaum book teaches everything you really need to know in regards to technicals and about the industry. Are there any books that are similar that could help you in ER? From what I heard, the intelligent investor is a great way to start.

The Intelligent Investor and A Random Walk Down Wall Street are super basic but probably useful for building a foundation of knowledge. There are books out there like "Best Practices for Equity Research Analysis" by James Valentine, or something like "Financial Modeling for Equity Research" by John Moschella. But these are like literal school textbooks, not fun reads
