I just finished and enjoyed:

The Four Pillars of Investing by William Bernstein

The four pillars consisting of investment theory, history, psychology and business. I ascribe to the indexing model of investing and this book helped crystallize my view point as well as provide an interesting overview of investment history.

Plus I'll throw in one of my favorite, bloody gems of a book:

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy



The Road was also another excellent book by Cormac McCarthy. I'm not sure about his other books but this one was a really easy read.


The Border Series (All The Pretty Horses, The Crossing, etc) is riddled with inaccessible scene description (non-stop landscape lexicon) and bouts of Spanish, only barely detracting from each story's general awe-inspiring quality.

No Country For Old Men is more accessible and I'd definitely recommend it. The Road is also a must.
