• The first "Market Wizards", minus a few of the "value" types :-)
--
Fooled by Randomness by Nicholas Taleb is a must read (keeps the hubris in check), and for the history of the industry (for perspective) More Money than God by Mallaby.
--
More Money than God, The Quants, and Fortune's Formula are some of my favorites.
--
Fooling Some of the People All of the Time by Einhorn; Inside the House of Money by Drobny; Hedge Hogging by Biggs to name a few
--
hahahaha , i like More Money than God too,
--
The Greatest Trade Ever by Gregory Zuckerman
--
My picks: Handbook of HF's, Mkt Wizards, Reminiscence of a stock operator, Money Mavericks.
Currently reading: Beating the Street and Theory of Contrary thinking
--
More Money Than God by S. Mallaby - a really great history of the industry from it's inception
--
Diary of a Very Bad Year: Confessions of an Anonymous Hedge Fund Manager. Greatest Trade Ever is also very good.

--
1) The Hedge Fund Book - A Training Manual for Professionals and Capital Raising Executives. 2) Reminiscences
--
• Hedge Fund Course - Stuart A. McCrary.
--
Lemke - Hedge Fund and Other Private Funds: Regulation and Compliance
--
Inside the House of Money and The Invisible Hands - both by Steven Drobny - hands down the best book for insight on hedge funds i have ever read
--
3 Books worth reading that all are well written in plain english with sound business practices:
- The Essays of Warren Buffett by Warren Buffett and Lawrence Cunningham
- It's Earning That Count: Finding Stocks with Earnings Power for Long-Term Profits by Hewitt Heiserman Jr.
- Quality of Earnings by Thornton L. O'glove
--
Too Big to Fail was very good. Not directly hedge fund related. The Big Short was entertaining. Margin of Safety by Seth Klarman
--
I really enjoyed the following three:

* Hedgehunters by Katherine Burton

* When Genius Failed by Roger Lowenstein

* Hedgefunds, An Analytic Perspective by Andrew W. Lo

This last book is much more technical than the other two.
