Title says it all. We pick a book (once a month or so) which we then read and discuss in thread.

Post itt if you're interested in joining or have book suggestions.

Books can range from beginner to advanced, technical to philosophical. I've rarely found reading a well written book to be a waste of time. I've read books that are beneath my level that gave me ideas and refined simple concepts, and books where I barely understand the math but which set a foundation for future understanding.

Books I'm currently reading or would like to read

A Man for All Markets

Exchanges Microstructure Practitioners

Dynamic Hedging

Advances Financial Machine Learning

The book "Trading and Exchanges: Market Microstructure for Practitioners" (your 2nd suggestion) would probably be the best to start off with. It should give everybody a good grounding and make subsequent / more specialised books easier to understand.

how about "The Bitcoin Standard"?

Since crypto is by far the most talked about subject in this sub-forum...it makes the most sense to begin and try to educate both sides of the argument.
