52 Great Investing Books
A curated reading list
For fun, I decided to do some research on the best investing books out there. After going through numerous articles and finding a few off-the-beaten-path gems, I settled on a collection of 52 books. They aren’t in any particular order but I did try to mix up the list so there was some variety if one did read them chronologically.
Anyways, if you need a good book to read and want to learn something about the market along the way, here are a few options that may be of interest:
