I probably have bookmarks in 20+ books but these are at the top of the pile: The Art Of Probability , Richard Hamming. I find prob/stat frustratingly hard to master. This book is clearing up my confusion chapter by chapter. As an engineer this book appears to be written for someone with exactly my level of knowledge which helps a lot. Conspiracy of Fools , Kurt Eichenwald. Very entertaining ... shining examples of what not to do. Security Analysis, 1934 Edition, Graham and Dodd. They authors are exquisitely clear thinkers. I don't know how useful the financial information is because it is 80 years old.
