Books to read
I'm a sophomore who just finished up IB recruiting. Super happy with my offer and worked super hard for it. But now I have a ton of free time.
Please drop books recs, ideally relevant to finance or investing. Please don't drop a list of 20 books, that will be useless to me. I also don't need your niche book rec that shows off how underground you are. Assume Im starting from square one, so guaranteed good, enjoyable reads appreciated.
If there is a banger book you love, please share. I'm a big fan of Michael Lewis and his books, as an example.
Barbarians at the gate; Caesar's palace coup; liar's poker; monkey business; American psycho; bonfire of the vanities
would recommend them all - should cover you for a bit
I appreciate it man. These sound great, heard of most of them. If you had to pick 1 for me to start w and order rn, which would it be?
about deals: barbarians, Caesar's
life on wall st: liars poker, monkey biz
fiction: American psycho, bonfire
first book I read after signing my SA was Barbarians
Red notice, when genius failed, the man who solved the markets, the world for sale.
Other reads not directly business but still interesting:
The new map, our changing world order, chip war, the intelligence paradox, never split the difference, total recall, trust me I’m lying.
If you’re truly a nerd,
Debt: The first 5000 years
The new map is great
Some great ones have already been mentioned (Barb at the gate and the world for sale are 2 of my fav books)
Would also throw in Den of Thieves
The Art of the Deal. Thank me later when you become the 69th president.
The Ascent of Money - Niall Ferguson
The Wager by David Grann… not finance but the best book I read last year and a true story. Think Ernest Shackleton meets Lord of the Flies. Author is the guy who wrote Killers of a Flower moon (book that Scorsese made his movie based on)
Dear chairman
Red Notice is criminally underrated
