I enjoyed reading this year's Jealousy List 2015 from Bloomberg of articles they wished they had published.

Which articles and books would be on your list?  (They don't have to be business related.)

Thanks for highlighting this link...I read the story about the Cascadia fault when it appeared in the magazine.  It is excellent.

My favorite book of 2015 that was published this year was Alex Gurevich's The Next Perfect Trade. He's a leveraged trader, but I think the principles apply for value investing, too. Actually, I think it's interesting that the book has gotten as little attention as it has.
