I know the very bare basics, but looking to learn more. However, I don't want to get this, if it's for the more advanced.
It's approachable, but somewhat hefty. If you understand the basics of the stock market, you can read the book.

I'll just add to my post above, coming from an engineering degree background, the Intelligent Investor made my head hurt. It is basically a text book. Very informative text, though I spent countless hours working through the first few chapters with a dictionary and Google on stand by.
I would personally recommend reading A Random Walk Down Wall Street before jumping into the Intelligent Investor. I own both books and I have yet to complete the Intelligent Investor, although the former I completed in a matter of a few weeks. I read in the evenings after work and I still open it on the occasion for reference.

Even if you don't know a thing about the stock market, an initial read of it will give you a good understanding of how the system works. Then on your second read you can pickup the detailed nuances you missed on the first go-around.
Atleast that's how I did it.
