Best HF Portfolio Management Books

I’m sure similar posts have been made before, however which books have you learned the most from that are written by portfolio managers?

Everyone’s heard about Benjamin Graham (intelligent investor, security analysis, etc…), but I’m curious as to what books, written by hedge fund founders rather than famous value investors, are best to read up on that pertain to long / short equity strategies. What’s the most influential book you have read, and who is your favorite investor?
