"Too Big To Fail" by Andrew Ross Sorkin, really good book, I'm reading it now.

Thanks! Anyone got any good investment books?

Flash Boys by Michael Lewis

I'm interested in more books similar to Michael Lewis; not so much in learning how to do stuff but getting a look at institutions and events from the inside (and how crazy they can be).

Is this more entertainment than educational? I'm going for more informative than "wow!"

I posted about wanting to read More Money Than God when the board was still new and got it recommended. it's an awesome book

you can also take it beyond reading and watch fund managers themselves talk on yt. Dan Loeb's keynote, activist investing milken institute pannel, Jim Channos, Icahn and you'll find more recommendations in the book

don't discount the other 2 books

Predator's Ball is a good book on Drexel Burnham Lambert

Enemy At The Gates and Smartest Guys in The Room are another two but I haven't read them

What about "The Law of Success - Napoleon Hill"?

Bought it and I'm currently a few pages in.
The introduction already is interesting.

I would watch the doco 'Inside Job' (2010) if you're interested in the GFC. It's pretty good.

it's really just narrating a story, but it's quite an interesting one nonetheless, and if you don't have any knowledge on HFT it gives an interesting insight into the industry.

I recently read Founders At Work, can heavily recommend, read it twice, took a lot of notes.
It's about hugely successful companies, but with a laser focus on the very early startup days, it really filled in the blanks for me.

Some crazy shit in there.

Too many people put founders on a pedestal, as if they are always some qualified genius creative ubermensch alpha, who creates a rockstar team of experts, and everything just kinda clicked, and everyone was confident and positive and knew what they were doing.

It's not, it's a lot of creativity along with frantic hacking, shilling, stealing, arguments, bullshit, and guesswork.

A bit like /biz/
