Finance: Please recommend books, not necessarily IBanking.

<p>I'm looking for any suggestions for good finance related books...about the field, about the job(s) available for finance majors (I know the gist of it), but thought reading some good books that would help me learn more about the field I might end up studying...</p>

<p>Any types of books, although classroom textbooks I'd like to stay away from, unless there are some really good textbooks that I might need to read.</p>

<p>Also, I'm not really interested in the insane hours of ibanking, so I don't really need any that will increase my knowledge of that field.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Wikipedia has some info</p>

<p>Thank you for the suggestion...</p>

<p>If anyone could recommend any books, I'd greatly appreciate it.</p>

<p>Don't underestimate Wikipedia. 99% of it is great quality stuff- and it's free.</p>

<p>Yes, yes, I know! I checked out the link and am enjoying reading; I just was wondering if anyone else had any additional input on any books. I'm thankful she reminded me of that site.</p>
