1.		Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets from Penguin Price: £6.49 Customer Review: The book offers a better perception of randomness and its effect on our lives mostly using stock market examples. Easy to read for the non-expert in probability or statistics it offers a stochastic view on the world which we perceive to be much more deterministic than it is (mostly by confusing the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		The New Paradigm for Financial Markets: The Credit Crisis of 2008 and What It Means from PublicAffairs,U.S. Price: £7.69 Customer Review: This is very much like Soros's other books: a mix of (his own) Philosophy in PART I, and its possible applicability to the Finance markets of the time in PART II. If you like Taleb's mix of Philosophy and Finance in Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets and... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World from Penguin Price: £6.14 Customer Review: This book has been the best book I have ever read its been hard to put down, it has such a huge range as Alan Greenspan was fed Chairman 5 times the stories he tells are very interesting and would suit anyone interested in politics or finance.

4.		The (Mis)behaviour of Markets: A Fractal View of Risk, Ruin and Reward from Profile Books Ltd Price: £6.49 Customer Review: In this tome Mr Mandelbrot lambasts the previous century's inadequate financial models but seems unwilling to admit that the field has moved on somewhat, and unable to offer a practical model of his own. Mr Mandelbrot shows how Bachelierian models fail to account for disastrous market drops... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £12.49 Customer Review: I recently re-read Roger Lowenstein's biography, Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist (first published in 1995 and now re-issued with a new Afterword), and then read this more recent one by Alice Schroeder. Both are first-rate. Which to select if reading only one? That depends on how... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions from HarperCollins Publishers Ltd Price: £8.49 Customer Review: I wanted this book to be so much better than it actually is. I've been waiting for this book (or at least *a* book about the irrational foibles of human behaviour) to be written for years now, and having finally been given one, it's turned out to be a bit disappointing. Oh, don't get me wrong,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long Term Capital Management from Fourth Estate Price: £3.99 Customer Review: I read this book due to the current economic climate and found it quite interesting. I know nothing about stocks, shares and bonds so some of the book went over my head. It is quite easy to get the general gist of the story though and the sheer front these guys had was amazing (if it is all... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		Way of the Turtle: The Secret Methods that Turned Ordinary People into Legendary Traders from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: £10.79 Customer Review: I was hoping that the book would identify some useful methodology for trading that could be used on the sporting exchanges. There are a few interesting ideas, but it does not deliver as a manual along the 'how to' lines. Perhaps I had an incorrect expectation - but if you want to identify... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness from Yale University Press Price: £10.80 Customer Review: Though there is little in this book that is completely new, it draws together many of the key current ideas on how people make decisions. In particular it shows that people may make very different decisions depending on how information about the decision is presented. It is illustrated... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		The Great Crash, 1929 (Penguin business) from Penguin Price: £6.99 Customer Review: John Kenneth Galbraith's classic study of the 1929 Wall Street crash is an exhilarating read.
