I love reading about investing so, I thought I'd start a thread on books for economics and/or investing. Your two favorite books and why?
I'll start with my two favorites I've read in the past few years:
1.) Financial Shenanigans - This book is the basics for many when it comes to reading balance sheets however, it covers a lot of way companies manipulate. I may not have learned the most from it however, for anyone investing in stocks I think it is a must read. Especially if you don't know how to properly decipher balance sheets.

2.) Rule #1 Investing - This is also a book for basics on investing in companies. It explains how to do a proper evaluation and mostly has proven pretty accurate for me. As someone who didn't study this stuff at a college I found both these books very helpful for reading balance sheets, looking for problems, and in determining value.

I'm sorry to say I don't have favorites for economics because most of my study has just been learning the theories of macro-economics from the internet. If anyone has great macro-economic books they can suggest I'd love to read some.
