I have read a few of the books that you’ve recommended. I found “The Wealthy Barber” to be full of good info, but the story/novel format got old pretty quickly. Also, the “Random Walk” seemed to hit the right notes for me. A book that I’ve been hearing about more recently is “Your Money or Your Life”. Does anyone have any experience with this book?
Jeff: I’ve read Your Money or Your Life many years ago. If you haven’t read it, I’d definitely recommend reading. Maybe I’ll check it out of the library to review it again.
Some good choices CC. There are a couple I’ve not read yet so I may just add them to my Christmas list.
I agree, Your Money or Your Life is a must read. Trent over at the Simple Dollar did a Book Club reading of it that I really enjoyed.
I have not read Your Money or Your Life, I will definitely check it out. I’m a big fan of The Neatest Little Guide To Stock Market Investing (Jason Kelly) for someone just starting out.
The Intelligent Investor is boring as heck if you haven’t had much exposure, but I really appreciated it later in life when I picked it up again. You can tell someone to just read a few of the different chapters as well since it is broken off nicely.
I’m getting Bernstein for Christmas (yes, that’s right – I don’t even own a copy)
Mike
Neil: I haven’t heard of the Jason Kelly book. I’ll try to see if the library has it.
Mike: I recently purchased the Four Pillars book. I refer to it often enough that I could justify the purchase. From the list, I am missing just two books: Wealthy Barber and Unconventional Success.

Is that a hint??
No, the hint is in the first line and I’ve let my wife know that Costco has it at a low, low price
I don’t think I’ll pony up for the Wealthy Barber, but I’ll buy Unconventional Success at some point.
