Hey guys,
Not the most important inquiry in the world, but I am about to take a flight to Dublin, Ireland this weekend to go study abroad for the semester and I was looking to find a nice book related to investment banking to read on the trip there. I took a look at the "Monkey's Review" list of books that Flesh does, but I dont know which one would be good.
Anyone have any good must read investment banking books that I should be considering?? Your thought will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Personally I would just watch all the movies and tv shows they have on the plane, but if you want to read I would suggest Monkey's Business or When Genius Failed. Both are pretty short and have a writing style that won't put you to sleep in 5 minutes.
Agreed, you can't go wrong with either of those.
Haha alright thanks. Yea i prolly will end up doing that just trying to be somewhat hopeful i can read something instead of watchin movies. Thanks a lot
Some people suggest reading liars poker. But I have NOT yet read the book so dont take my word on it.
I recommend liar's poker or barbarians at the gate both are pretty entertaining
Read "Ugly Americans" about a kid from Princeton who went to japan as a trader. Honestly one of the most interesting books I've read in a while. I'm obsessed with the book now, you definitely won't put it down and your going to want to travel to japan. No real useful stuff about IB but you won't be disappointed.
Liar's Poker, you can finish it and still have time to take a nap.
iPad.
the big short or lords of finance. currently reading the latter and is pretty good. liar's poker i read as well and didn't find it quite as good as the big short. I couldn't even get through barbarians at the gate, became boring to me, however I will probably finish it at some point. freakonomics is a decent read too, but not as finance related.
Definitely agree that the beginning of BATG was slow, but don't give up on it yet. Once the deal begins, the book picked up (for me) and I really enjoyed it.
pick up the economist @ the hudson news stand and read that before you pass out. :D
The Greatest Trade Ever is an awesome short read.
if you want to really turn your brain to much read Intelligent Investor
Thanks to all for the suggestions, much appreciated!
