what finance/investing books do you read - interview question

Do interviewers usually ask whats your favorite investing or finance book? Because I don't read these types of books ever loll and i'm not sure what the proper response is to this question if I don't read

 

im not in IB but the finance book I read that I think would have the best application in the industry would be Narratives & Numbers by NYU Prof. Damodaran. It's a great book that really helps you put together cohesive stories when pitching a company or idea to someone.

let's see Paul Allen's card
