  • Hull's Derivatives is the bible
  • Stigum's Money Market is a legitimately enjoyable read and taught me SO MUCH
  • Fabozzi's Fixed Income Handbook is a good general overview of the FI market. (More widely known than, but not as good as Stigum's.)
  • I don't know where your programming skills are, but try to model out anything that you find interesting in the books above using Jupyter. This will help a great deal with internalizing what's happening mechanically underneath the concepts you're learning.
  • How I Became A Quant for easy train/bed reading.
  • Mandlebrot for a dose of realism. Models are always wrong.
  • The Medium of Contingency for a glimpse into the mind of a practitioner. It's... weird.
  • Cliff's blog because he's humble (and also my idol). His chapter in How I Became A Quant is the best, imo.

    disclaimer: Not a quant, never went to school for it nor worked in finance. I just like reading. This list is more than enough for the summer, but let me know if you want material focused on anything in particular. (Structured products, history, etc.)

Fabozzi or Tuckman are essentially the Natenberg of Fixed Income. Jha is well regarded too. Of course economic theory is thrown in this also, which can lead you down many roads depending upon the school of thought.
