Luckly you to have taken a class from him. I read a PDF by him once, I wonder if I still have it... It came from my advisor and was not free content. Just added that book to my wishlist. Thanks.

Swensen runs Yale University's Endowment. It has grown, under his leadership, from around $3B to $17B. While his advice is directed at institutions, it most certainly applies to individual portfolio construction. Swensen taught my MBA class in Endowment Management at Yale. I highly recommend this book. Here is another book: Pioneering Portfolio Management, by David Swensen. Swensen runs Yale University’s Endowment.

I am surprised at some of the suggestions. I thought The Number was pretty good but I don't know if I will call it a must read. Some of the books I've never heard of, so I still have a bit of reading to do :) I’ve read seven of the books on that list and I have to say that Random Walk is my favourite and if you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend that you check it out of your local library.
