What financial books do you like?

I'm fan of Suze Orman books - I think they are entertaining as well as informative, but a little on the light side sometimes.

I also liked "Rich Dad, Poor Dad"

"The Millionaire Next Door"

Thumbs up for those books

The Richest Man in Babalon
The Total Money Makeover
Financial Peace Revisited

I've heard Mutual Funds for Dummies was a good one too.

I've just finished reading Nice Girls don't Get Rich: 75 Avoidable Mistakes Women Make with Money. Now I'm reading The Everything Personal Finance in your 20's and 30's Book. The first book deals with psychological behaviors with money and the other deals with information about budgeting, investing, retirement, and credit.

Excellent book. Should be required reading in school, IMHO.

The Millionaire Next Door
Rich Dad, Poor Dad

I loved the Automatic Millionare. Great book for a young person, and an easy, quick read.

I really want to read Millionare Next Door. What is the Richest Man in Babalon about?

Kiyosaki is a charlatan.

I like Smart Women Finish Rich. The ideas in this book help me establish goals not only in my financial but also in my personal life. I'm getting ready to restart (after a year hiatus) my freelance career and so far it's been a real big help.

here's a good start!

The Millionaire next Door.
The Automatic Millionaire
Financial Peace Revisted
All your Worth
Wealth Without Risk
The Fast Foward MBA in Investing
SuperSelf


I like magazines and the internet for investment advice since they are more up to date.

What do you think about the "dummies" and "idiot's" series of book for people who are just beginning to learn? I tend to like them, and consider them a good starting point, to learn basic terminology and concept and options, though they tend to outgrow their usefulness after about six months.

I tend to prefer the "Idiot" series better, just the way it's laid out and presented, but the "Dummy" series is good, too. I have noticed the "Idiot" series is not as common as it used to be.
