MARCH 21, 2003 READING LIST John Edmunds's Book Recommendations
• THE MONEY GAME by Adam Smith "[This] is the most engaging book I've read about the stock market." • A RANDOM WALK DOWN WALL STREET by Bruton Malkiel "A more serious and somewhat sobering book about the stock market." • ZERO COUPON by Paul Erdmann "A finance thriller that is plausible and exciting." • THE WEALTHY WORLD by John C. Edmunds "[This book] does a better job than The Lexus and the Olive Tree of of showing how financial accumulation is really happening." • LIARS' POKER by Michael Lewis "An engaging read that depicts the rape-and-plunder mentality of Wall Street traders."
