Big Short was literally the worst book i have ever read. everyone on this forum is now dumber for having read your comment. i award you no points. and may god have mercy on your soul.
 
Too Big To Fail was a stellar book. Although I wouldn’t say it’s a “finance” book - doesn’t really educate the reader much on “finance” although it’s a VERY good insight into what happened on Wall Street and Washington behind all those closed conference room doors. HIGHLY recommend it.
Reading When Genius Failed right now - loving to so far.
 
I don’t know what kind of finance books you’re after, textbooks or historical but these were books I really liked. In no particular order
Lords of Finance - Liquat Ahamed
More Money Than God - Mallaby
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator - Lefevre
Big Deal: Mergers and Acquisitions in the Digital Age - Bruce Wasserstein
The Last Tycoons: Secret History of Lazard Freres - William Cohen
Margin of Safety - Seth Klarman
The Intelligent Investor - Ben Graham
Distressed Debt Analysis: Strategies for Speculative Investors - Stephen Moyer
The Rediscovered Benjamin Graham: Selected Writings of the Wall Street Legend - Edited By Janet Lowe
Ones I have been told are good but haven’t yet read:
Too Big to Fail
Barbarians at the Gate
 
I thought that hedge hogging by Barton Biggs was a great book most certainly worth a read, Barton Biggs is a great writer.
