Inspired by Barry Ritholtz at The Big Picture, I thought it would be interesting to see what books Abnormal Returns readers purchased in May. Almost half, or 46%, of purchases were of a single copy, so I have omitted them here. Below are the books (combined print and Kindle) that our readers purchased and the percentage of sales (rounded) they represent:
- Abnormal Returns: Winning Strategies from the Frontlines of the Investment Blogosphere by Tadas Viskanta. (15%)
- Hedge Fund Market Wizards by Jack Schwager. (12%)

All in all an interesting reading list. As you can see our readers are particularly interested in reading about what some top hedge fund managers have to say. Thanks to everyone who purchased a copy of my book or any other book (or item) during the month. If you found this post interesting please leave a comment and I will do it again next month.
