A Random Walk Down Wall Street... Malkiel

IMHO, a must read for anyone considering investing...

It's not really a stock market investing book, but The Big Short by Michael Lewis (the same guy who wrote the book Money Ball about baseball which also was a movie starring Brad Pitt) is an excellent read regarding Wall Street practices.

Another book by Lewis is Liar's Poker, again about Wall Street.

All of those are non-fiction but read like a novel. He has some humorous stories in each one.

I've never read any of his books so I can't really make a recommendation one way or the other. Sorry.

His books are very enjoyable and even the most dense among us can accidentally learn something through his reading.
Good NOLA boy as well!
