YAIT: What are some good investing books to borrow/buy?

[Orsorum]

I'm doing this as a source guide for any n00b investors who may wander into ATOT looking for places to find info.

The free locations of information:
- Morningstar.com
- Fool.com

Radio Personalities
- Bob Brinker
- Clark Howard

The books:
- More Wealth Without Risk
- The Intelligent Asset Allocator
- The Four Pillars of Investing
- Millionaire Real Estate Mentor
- A Random Walk Down Wall Street
- The Intelligent Investor
- Security Analysis
- One Up On Wall Street
- Monkey Business: Swinging through the wall street jungle
- Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits and Other Writings
- Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of Crowds

Lifestyle books:
- The Millionaire Next Door
- The Richest Man In Babylon
- Rich Dad, Poor Dad
- The Wealthy Barber

I am not endorsing these books - in fact, some of them I would only recommend borrowing from a library (Rich Dad, Poor Dad, for one) - most of them are ones that have caught my eye.

Let me know what to add, and I'll add it!

You left out One up on Wall Street by Peter Lynch.

 

You should listen to Bob Brinker on the weekends for investment advice and Clark Howard every weekday for spending and frugal living advice.

The Wealthy Barber.

Easy and enjoyable read.

This book is pretty funny, and opens up the life about investment banking : Monkey Business: Swinging through the wall street jungle

Edit:

I own Millionaire next door, and follow most of it's principles, but it was always ingrained in me by the parents.

I'd add Warren Buffett's letters to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders and Philip Fisher's "Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits".

Combine with Ben Graham's "Security Analysis" and "The Intelligent Investor", and one will know everything there is about successful investing. All the other crap that Wall Street puts out on a daily basis is simply noise.

Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds - by Charles MacKay, Bernard M. Baruch

I was reminding people about tulipmania during the dot-com bubble, but almost everyone thinks their new mania is somehow different from all the ones before it.

Good addition.

Not to keep making a shameless plug, but I'm really surprised more people haven't contributed to this thread.
