Readings: When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management; Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall
of RJR Nabisco

Get rid of this section ^^ everyone reads or at least should and everyone that wants to do banking has read all those books. if you have a cooler hobby or something that sets you apart more put that instead.

A lot of the time other than experience and education which yours appears to be good, interviewers want to make sure you aren't boring as a person

Looks fine. Would recommend you drop the readings portion and put some better interests.  It's cool and all that you like politics but I would suggest that you put another hobby or sport that you've played or follow.

Also, saying that your investment fund covers and has models for BP and DB is a very risky move.  O&G and banks both have very specific valuation methods (supermajors like BP would typically be valued using three or four methods just to get to the total EV) so if you just have a DCF and non industry specific comps then you're going to look pretty silly if they grill you.
