The New York Times recently released its “Essential Wall Street Summer Reading List,” which includes must-read books for those in the business sector and/or anyone who is trying to make smart financial decisions. The list includes books that offer tips on everything from basic bookkeeping to higher-level investment advice.

One of the books that tops the list is James B. Stewart’s Den of Thieves. The book is older—published in 1992—so it’s a bit of a surprise pick for the New York Times. However, it talks about insider trading in great detail, and the relevance of this topic to today’s world likely has a lot to do with why it made the cut.

Other books on the list include Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco by Bryan Burrough and John Helyar; and Liar’s Poker by Michael Lewis. While you might be able to get some great tips from these books, remember nothing beats the bookkeeping and general financial advice you can find at Susan S. Lewis, Ltd., based in Naperville.
