2015 Books to Read

As a habit, I 'd love to share the current books which I am reading and gonna read this year.

1. The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham: 
I tried to read this book before however I couldn't finish as I was too lazy (not busy) and the book wasn't really  helpful as at that time I was a novice stock investor. However this time I picked up the book again as now Im investing in the U.S. stock market and I need to be more analytical and more 'skillful' at choosing the right stocks to buy and invest in medium and long term. I am reading Chapter 2 and so far what the book writes is relevant with the knowledge I've learnt from my CFA program. I hope that the book can be a good help for me in the near future.

2. Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage: a Novel by Haruki Murakami
Haruki Murakami has always been my favourite author. And it's been years since my last time reading Murakami's novel. This is one of his new released books and seems to be an easy read. At the moment I have almost finished the book. It's definitely one of Murakami's simple novels. Not too complex and the characters are not as deep as the ones in other books. So far I love it, and still have no idea how the ending is gonna turn... 

Finished. A good and interesting viewpoint from inside Google.

4. Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt by Michael Lewis
>>> Currently reading. This book writes about the high frequency trading in Wall Street. Very interesting to read, however the truth is brutal. Prepare yourself.

5. ...
