Wall Street Reading List

Awesome list, just checked out the site. 
 

Some really good reads on here (love Spider Network and Makers and Takers as less popular reads). 
 

Again think Discussion Materials would be a nice addition here to add some breadth! A more light-hearted perspective on the industry that’s equally informative as others but via a different lens. 

Banking hours are bad as you already know, but honestly you find time for whatever it is that you enjoy doing. As matter of fact, I just finished reading Bomber Mafia (Gladwell’s latest release). I prefer hardcovers over e-books, especially with WFH. When I go back to the office, I guess I’ll have to return to e-books. In general, I usually read when I have some downtime. There are two benefits to doing this (1) makes you seem busy when people walk by and (2) you get paid for doing something you enjoy.

I’m buyside now and have more time but I’ll listen to audiobooks on higher speeds while at the gym, walking to pick up food, and before bed. I didn’t read nearly as much when I was in banking, to be fair.

I’d definitely go with Outliers over Tipping Point. Outliers is a classic in the sense that even if you haven’t read it you have at least heard about the 10,000 hour rule. I also think that Blink is better than Tipping Point, so realistically this should be Outliers vs Blink IMO.
