sam zell - am I being too subtle
Defeat into Victory- William Slim Titan- Robert Chernow The autobiography of Gucci Mann (not joking)
redacted
I just ordered The Price of Peace - its a biography on John Maynard Keynes
Skidelsky's Keynes biography is hard to top if you haven't read that yet...
Yeah definitely agree that Skidelsky’s version is top tier for Keynes. Although its quite long, I enjoyed the first two volumes a lot more than the third, so you can maybe skip the last one if you want. I honestly wouldn’t read any other literature about Keynes until you’ve read this one.
More Money Than God is really interesting and has the backstories of funds / people in finance.
the Elon Musk biography by Ashley Vance is great
Anything Walter Isaacson touches other than "Innovators".
Anything by Rob Chernow.
My personal favorite is Isaacson's Ben Franklin.

actually never mind what I said before. reading books is a waste of time. create a cool life for yourself so that you can write a book about it for other less successful people to read.

King Of Capital - Steve Schwarzman (Blackstone)
Cold Steel - Lakshmi Mittal (ArcellorMittal)

Pikes - Tony Pike (Ibiza legend, club owner, owned a few other companies selling yachts etc, prob won't know him if youre an American dork)
Can't think of any more but I know there are a few. Try The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand if you want fiction.
Rand is so, so bad.
you a damn socialist???? I think her writing style leaves something to be desired. especially in atlas shrugged (I slogged through that last year), but the concept of the fountainhead gets me gassed.
I am not a socialist, just don't like her philosophy or writing.
I just picked up Meditations. What did you think?
