You may be talking about Peter Lynch or Seth Klarman or David Dremen or Joel Greenblatt

All of these books are either available at the public/school library or you can find them online. I'm into bank stocks because I read David Dremen book and he mentions about his team buying 30 bank stocks in the early 90's and selling all of them in the late 90's with the overall return of more than 500 %. 2 years ago, a bank in Michigan, with symbol OXBC was selling for less than 10 cents. Today it is selling for 6 dollars. I wish I read David Dremen's book few years ago. Better late than never. Some other books which are available at the library and which will help you to understand the macro view of the stock market..

1. Lords of Finance by Laiquat Ahamed - This is an awesome book that tells you what happened in the world of central bankers between 1910 and 1945 

2. The Prize by Daniel Yergin...Great book on how the oil industry works and how it has shaped the word. 

All of these can be either found online or at your nearest public library.
