1.		No Tears: Tales from the Square Mile from Elliott & Thompson Limited Price: £6.99 Customer Review: I really enjoyed reading and re-reading this book: - it reads well - the plots of the stories and characters are very believable and highly entertaining - it's nice expose of human weaknesses, specifically: egomania, greed and excessive risk taking, which contributed so much to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 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.		Golden Handcuffs: The Lowly Life of a High Flyer from Matador Price: £5.49 Customer Review: If you're thinking about getting a job in the city (pretend we're not in a credit crunch and the glory days still prevail) ... read this book. A well written, well researched and brutally honest portrayal of the sacrifices that are required in order to bring in the big bucks. It highlights the point... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		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

5.		Trust Me, I'm a Banker from Elliott & Thompson Limited Price: £6.99 Customer Review: A fictional story of an investment banker that lives a charmed life, extortionate earnings, a sizzling sex life, his luck & good fortune makes this account of investment banking unbelievably humorous. Accounts of the crafty and devilish investment banker outfoxing his mercenary like wife and how... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Devil May Care (James Bond) from Penguin Price: £7.21 Customer Review: Still worthy of a read but nowhere near as good as the original master 'Fleming'. The plot still draws you in but the outcome is predictable! When I bought this I purchased a novel from a new author 'De Marco Empire' and i found this to be much more exciting - on the edge of the seat stuff and... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable from Penguin Price: £5.29 Customer Review: Reading these reviews leads me immediately to the realisation that this work may possibly be little better than plagiarism. Siméon-Denis Poisson first examined the statistical modelling of low-probability events in 1838, within a much wider corpus of scientific research in pure and applied... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		Traders, Guns and Money: Knowns and Unknowns in the Dazzling World of Derivatives from Financial Times/ Prentice Hall Price: £12.00 Customer Review: For me the world of derivatives are a known unknown and after reading the book, it remains like that. Derivatives are complex indeed if you don't have experience or are involve in it, but this book helps to provide an idea about the mechanics of the financials markets. The author guides you in this... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		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

10.		An Utterly Impartial History of Britain: (or 2000 Years of Upper Class Idiots in Charge) from Black Swan Price: £3.86 Customer Review: Though it claims to be witty, I'm afraid I can't add to the glowing reports of this book. This is not to say that it is an awful book, merely that I found it hard to engage with the style of John O'Farrell. The reading is light and is a good a book to snuggle up in bed with as any, but I... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
