financial market books to read

[DcifrThs]

probably been done before but i have a specific request. i'd like a list of books to compliment the ones i'm reading or have read.

Those are:

Fooled by Randomness
Black Swan
Halo Effect (just bought it b/c i felt like it..dont think it necessarily belongs)

I need to read a lot more than i am now. Currently, i read the economist cover to cover every week & try to read as much wall street journal & FT as i can. i concentrate on market oriented articles and all of the FT Comment & Analysis as that is worth its weight in gold...or many many times its weight as paper doesn't weigh much... and reading it online weighs nothing lol.

So, lets get this started, please list books that are of the above quality and will expand my mind and knowledge of financial markets.

Thanks,
Barron

dcifer,

for your own good, read the article that i linked, absorb what buffet says about RISK & REWARD. you won't need to read any academic studies after that
