Finally getting around to the two books that have been on my to-read list for a while:
The Big Short - Michael Lewis
Kitchen Confidential - Anthony Bourdain

How is the Big Short? I enjoyed Liar's Poker a fair bit, but not enough to run out and get the rest of his stuff - someone told me that LP was his best work.Originally Posted by TheOriginalGrumpySpy
It's a great little read. It does one of two things: 1. explains quite simply how the crash of 2007/2008 came about, and 2. portrays very interesting characters who caught onto the credit default swap problem and sought to make a lot of money betting against basically everyone.
Haven't read LP but if you are looking for an analysis of the CDS/CDO crash and a fun story to go along with it then I highly recommend it.
