Read on Hacker NewsThis summer I've read/am reading/am planning to read: * The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York (Robert Caro) * Options Volatility & Pricing: Advanced Trading Strategies and Techniques (Sheldon Natenberg) * Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898 (Edwin Burrows & Mike Wallace) * Egil's Saga (anonymous) * Invisible Cities (Italo Calvino) If you have any interest in the history of New York City at all, or if you're interested in seeing an incredibly well done character study, read "The Power Broker." Probably the best biography I've ever read... Ron Chernow's biographies of J. P. Morgan, Rockefeller, and Hamilton are all great, but Caro's on Robert Moses blew me away.
