Barbarians at the gate. And Liars Poker

The first is the story of a leveraged buyout of RJR Nabisco. It details be massive egos of those involved, and the amazing wealth the key personalities stood to gain.

The second Michael Lewis's take on his life as a bond trader.

Both are very readable and will give you an excellent feel of culture of the finance world. Personally, I loved both of them.
