I've also been interested in the financial collapse. Some other books that I'm sure you've already read are:
1. Too Big to Fail by Andrew Ross Sorkin (HBO's docudrama was based on this book) 2. Reckless Endangerment by Gretchen Morgenson 3. Fault Lines by Raghuram G Rajan 4. Boomerang by Michael Lewis 5. Fool's Gold by Gillian Tett

A few authors that I always enjoy reading: Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Freakanomics ( Leavit and Dubnedr) guys (more beach reading), Fareed Zakaria, Malcolm Gladwell

I also love WWII history, especially on the European front. You should check out Jeff Shaara's trilogy of historical fiction--"The Rising Tide", "The Steel Wave", and "No Less Than Victory". I'm just finishing "The Longest Winter" by Alex Kershaw. It tells of the survival of a small US platoon that was captured during the Battle of the Bulge. It's a good read.
With the survivalist/perseverance genre, I enjoyed "Between a Rock and a Hard Place" (AKA 127 Hours) by Aron Ralston. "Alive" by Piers Paul Read is good. And "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakuer is another good one. Mountain climbers/survivors always make for cool stories.
"Where Men Win Glory" by Jon Krakauer is a great book about the life of Pat Tillman. It's a very inspiring story, and even includes a short part about the 1997 Rose Bowl.
