The list below (except for Barron’s) is from the Recommended Reading section. The book links will take you to the book’s page on Amazon.com.

Barron’s is my single most important source of information about the economy and the financial markets. The interviews with the buyside investors are a gold mine of potential investment themes and stock buys. Barron’s and a Cinnamon Crunch bagel at Panera Bread make a great Saturday morning combination. Click here for a subscription to Barron’s.
