“Fischer Black and the Revolutionary Idea of Finance” by Perry Mehrling - a pretty interesting biography of one of the “inventors” of modern finance.
and, although not finance books, here are two more:
“Basic Economics: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy” by Thomas Sowell, becasue he explains basic economics so crisply using extremely simple examples. I have a signed copy with a letter from Sowell that occupy prized positions on my bookshelf.
“Thinking Strategically: The Competitive Edge in Business, Politics, and Everyday Life” by Avinash Dixit and Barry Nalebuff, as a very good explanation of game theory in everyday life.

Buddham’s right, “When Genius Failed” by Lowenstein is a great book and a must read.

Fall of Genius is my favorite to date. Although I like the manager/trader profile books also like Schwager’s “Wizards” books and a couple of the newer ones profiling hedge fund guys like Hedge Hunters and Inside the House of Money.
Oh, and you can’t miss Buffett’s biography.

CFA Level 1, Volume 1…since it’s the first book I’ve ever read on finance and got the ball rolling.
