Interested in recommended reading on or around Finance or Investment ?

I am currently reading "Fooled by Randomness" by Nassim Taleb and am finding it fantastic

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fooled_by_Randomness

I came to it from a Howard Marks YT lecture where he referred to it and thought more and thought there might be suggestions here ?

I have a bunch of books by John Kenneth Galbraith i plan to get to and have read Peter Lynch, Buffett, Munger etal

I just reread your post and realised your specifically looking for finance. I think i just saw Galbraith and thought economics. Sorry my recommendations probably missed the mark.

I am a Graeber afficanado so I've read the brilliant Debt, link here for others interested

and other books of his.

I was quite upset when be passed :( I came to him from the original publishing of his article Bullshit Jobs that he then reworked into a book.

Galbriath is recommended by the likes of Charlie Munger, Howard Marks etal and even Taleb himself in his book, all three being rightfully despairaging of economists but he's on my list for that reason and has been for a long time, it's a looooonnnng list of unread books :(.

Thank you for taking the time
