I'm reposting this from a separate topic I made in the forum, not realizing that there was a topic already devoted to recommendations:

I just finished gorging myself upon the 70 or so official Sherlock Holmes stories. My thirst for mystery is not yet satisfied, however, and I'm looking for another hefty mystery novel or collection of mystery stories to occupy my time. I'm not sure what I'm looking for more - extraordinary conundrums, unique, colorful detectives or vibrant historical settings. All three brought me to Sherlock Holmes in the first place. Psychological mind-benders are also welcome.

How is Agatha Christie? Is she actually a good mystery writer?

What are some good books about Wall Street? For the past few months I've been educating myself on the 2008 financial crisis, but I find myself still unsure what certain concepts, financial mechanisms and Wall Street Jargon mean. Do you guys know of any good, comprehensive introductions to Wall Street and Investing? Something that explains how Derivatives, Hedge Funds and other aspects of the street work?

I asked for a recommendation earlier in this thread but got no replies, so I'll dare to ask for one again:

What are some good books on the Israel-Palestine? Books that at least aim towards being unbiased? Some people I know have recommended O Jerusalem...I was wondering if you guys know of any other texts?

You'll probably have better luck with this request in D&D's book thread.

Thank you! I suppose this is not the best place for discussion of nonfiction.

Does anyone here have a recommendation for books about the dot-com bubble? They can be memoirs, general non-fiction or even fiction set during that time.
