I do enjoy a finance book every now and again and fancy picking one up. Here's what i have read so far;

Investing demystified - Kroijer (was good for fundamentals)
naked trader - Burns (enjoyed this)
too big to fail - Sorkin (didnt finish this, found it too hard to follow but i did enjoy the context)

ive probably read a few others previously but cannot remember

Any suggestions on what next?

Enjoyable rather than educational, but;

The Big Short - Michael Lewis
Taxtopia - The rebel accountant
Crash of the Titans - Greg Farrell

Flash Boys would be my choice. Gives a real insight to what went on in the world of high frequency trading.

Pretty much all of Michael Lewis books are excellent - the notable exception is Pacific Rift.

Any ideas if there is a good book on the Panama papers or similar?

I should add i do like a finance based book that tells a story rather than something purely educational

Stretching the brief but Geraint Anderson’s ‘Cityboy’ is a great read.

I’d agree.
Start with Liars Poker and go from there.

Barbarians at the Gate by Bryan Burrough is also a very good read.

Snowball is a great book, it’s not directly about trading but a great read all the same.
