Several years ago, I wrote an article talking about books I recommend reading if you want to become more financially literate. I recently reviewed my selections and still believe these are some of the best books written on finance.<\/p>\n

Historic Perspectives\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The presence of brilliance can be found in Benjamin Graham\u2019s foundational texts,\u00a0Security Analysis<\/i>\u00a0(with David Dodd),\u00a0and The Intelligent Investor<\/i>.\u00a0Touted as the \u201cfather of value investing,\u201d Graham was a professor at Columbia University, where he came to mentor then-graduate student Warren Buffett.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m drawn to everything Warren Buffett \u2013 books, articles, the annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholder letter, and essays. If I had to choose a book that most influenced me, it would be\u00a0The Essays of Warren Buffett.<\/i><\/p>\n

When I first voiced my interest in working on Wall Street, I received a copy of Peter Lynch\u2019s 1989 book,\u00a0One Up On Wall Street<\/i>,\u00a0which the author followed with publishing\u00a0Beating the Street<\/i>.\u00a0To this day, I still reference examples from the book.<\/p>\n

Academic Resources\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I love referencing Mark Anson\u2019s\u00a0The Handbook of Alternative Assets<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0The Handbook of Traditional and Alternative Investment Vehicles: Investment Characteristics and Strategies<\/i>\u00a0he co-wrote with Frank Fabozzi and Frank Joseph Jones\u2014although\u00a0Fabozzi\u2019s\u00a0The Handbook of Fixed Income Securities<\/i>\u00a0is my favorite pick.<\/p>\n

Storied Approaches\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I enjoy reading almost every book written by New Orleans native Michael Lewis. Four of my favorites are\u00a0Liar\u2019s Poker, Panic! The Story of Modern Financial Insanity, The Big Short, and Flash Boys.<\/i><\/p>\n

When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management,<\/i> by Roger Lowenstein, is a fantastic read about the defunct hedge fund, Long Term Capital Management (LTCM). Almost 40 years later, I still hear people discuss LTCM.<\/p>\n

Whether you are interested in becoming educated on investing history, increasing your financial literacy, or gaining a better understanding of today\u2019s markets, these suggestions may be helpful and entertaining.<\/p>\n
