A Curriculum for the Modern Investor (Patrick O'Shaughnessy)

TL;DR — Patrick O’Shaughnessy’s 22-page investing curriculum — books, articles, videos and interviews in ten topic areas from introductory to blogs.

How much weight it carries: A practitioner’s curated reading list, not research. Its value is the curation; every book in it is also an anti-library entry.
