If you think reading a book recommended by an investment advisor sounds about
as stimulating as perusing a train schedule, you are probably not alone. But the
fifth annual summer must-read list from JP Morgan Private Bank has something to
peak everyone’s interest. The bank compiled it from suggestions from 3,200 JP
Morgan employees and whittled it down by a committee of six to the 10 titles
below, picked for their quality, relevance of content, timely appeal and author
expertise.
Books purchased through JP Morgan’s online bookstore (www.jpmorgan.com/summerreading)
generate funds for Literacy Partners, a nonprofit group dedicated to helping
adults learn to read, write and master mathematics.
