I read and enjoyed The Big Short a lot. His explanations along with real life stories he attacts to it make understanding the technical stuff easy while allowing me to connect with the people in the book.

The Hemingway book you mentioned, is it anything like A Farewell to Arms? I was really interested in Hemingway for a time but forgot about him.

It's hard for me to compare the two because I read AFTA a long time ago. The main difference is FWTBT involves a lot of combat (guerilla warfare in the Spanish Civil War) whereas the other if I remember is more about escaping the combat of war. I highly recommend it; it's exciting, reads fast and is very moving.
