Lord of Finance by Liaquat Ahmed
I am interested in intelligent investors. So far, I have read these:
1. the big short
2. Rich dad poor dad
the classic “finance influencer” books
“The Caesars Palace Coup: How A Billionaire Brawl Over the Famous Casino Exposed the Power and Greed of Wall Street”
Not really an educational finance book. More so an insight into the industry.
Probably my favorite finance book. Haven't read anything else that gets into the weeds about what is going on in a transaction while also being extremely readable. I picked up a few practical points in debt structuring just from reading this book. It's difficult to understand concepts such as Holdco debt vs. opco debt / structural subordination, cross collateralization, fradulent transfers, etc. unless you experience it or read about a real life situation.
I’m just a corporate finance clown. I had to push my brain to max reading this 😂. Well worth it!
Barbarians at the Gate. A classic.
Flash Boys, King of Capital too. All these are 'story' books and are meant to educate in an entertaining way
Seconding Barbarians at the Gate. In my opinion, it was a slow start.. but after first 100 pages I couldn't put it down,.
Been reading Principles myself. I'm not finished and it isn't necessarily a clear cut finance book, but I think it has some great points to reflect on.
Bump.
I really want to get into the nitty gritty of M&A, the negotiations and such
I took a Columbia University M&A class last year, taught by some of the MBA professors and this was one of the recommended books. I have some other ones at home I forget but can update later.

Thanks man, looking forward to your recommendations
Were you the most jacked guy in the class, Isaiah?
This one is a bit dated, but still has some good info. By Bruce Wasserstein (HBS HLS grad).
https://www.amazon.com/Big-Deal-Control-Americas-Corporations/dp/044652…
Market Wizards and New Market Wizards by Jack Schwager are good (trading).
Den of Thieves, Predator’s Ball
Also, for technical analysis, look up Pring and Murphy.
