Hello everyone! I was wondering what the definitive best books are for investing, so I can get a better idea of what to get into and be successful! I want to get more into books because I just feel that since not everyone really reads anymore, I could have an upper hand.
Thank you!

Reading is so passe.
Do you have any asset classes or strategies in mind? I have a pretty ridiculous book collection.
If you have very limited knowledge on investing start with this:
https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0452298628/jasonkelly/</a">The Neatest Little Guide To Stock Market Investing by Jason Kelly
And then all of these are a must in my opinion:
The Most Important Thing Illuminated by Howard Marks + all his letters = the bible of investing for me. Margin of Safety - Seth Klarman You Can Be A Stock Market Genius - Joel Greenblatt (cheesy title but dynamite book) The Little Book of Valuation - Aswath Damodaran (also check out Investment Valuation, its a textbook but super insightful) The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham (a timeless classic) Every Warren Buffett annual letter since 1957 Pitch The Perfect Investment (another cheesy title but great book) Fooling Some of the People All of The Time - David Einhorn Thinking Fast & Slow - Daniel K Against the Gods - Peter Bernstein When Genius Failed - Roger Lowenstein Poor Charlie's Almanack - Charlie Munger - one of my favorites When The Wolves Bite - Scott Wapner (ackman vs. icahn) Why We Sleep - Matt Walker (not investing related but i think to be a good investor you need to be very strong mentally and sleep is key to that)
Hope this helps, got plenty more if u need any, lol, happy to discuss any of them if you read as well.
best of luck!
