The Best Books on Investment - Can They Be Ranked?
I've recently read through the Manual of Ideas, The Little Book that Beats the Market, Irrational Exuberance, Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits, and some other similar books. I am planning on working through a number of other books on investing. I've been in an investment club in college and am very passionate about investing and markets; there is an extremely large number of books to pick from on these topics, and as I read more I feel that a lot of what I have learned will be rehashed as I continue to read.
At a certain point I'm going to start getting diminishing returns, so what books should I read, and even more importantly in what order? The more eclectic the better, as I want to really broaden my horizons and understand as many different ways of investment strategy/perspective as possible. I've come across a number of books reading people's recommendations online, but it's unclear where to start. If you've read any awesome books that aren't in the list below, please add them to the forum and hopefully add why you think that the book is so important! I'm aware that there have been a number of forums on this topic, and I'm hoping that this could turn into a consolidated list.
