Or what are you planning to read in the way of wealth management, personal finance, etc?

I'm looking to read more and get my finances in order during the new year.

So far I've read
Millionaire Next Door
Common Sense on Investing

Thanks for the input.

"Millionaire Teacher"
In sum, buy index funds. US, World, Bonds. Rebalance once of twice a year.

I just added a few books to the bottom of the sticky thread. I'll post links one day.

I've read the following
Millionaire Next Door
A Random Walk Down Wallstreet

And I have John Bogle's book Enough on the counter to read as my next book. It's been sitting there for a few months sadly enough. I have a lot of catching up to do in the year 2015.

Just finished One Up on Wall Street. Really liked the book and Peter Lynch's style of writing. Kept it very interesting throughout.

Just finished I Will Teach You to Be Rich by Ramit Sethi. It's a great starter personal finance book that goes over the basics of budgeting, saving, investing.

Next book on my list is A Random Walk Down Wall Street.

Currently reading "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie and it is hands down the best book I've ever read.

The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham

I'll probably get grief for saying it but Financial Peace by Dave Ramsey is actually pretty good. I haven't read the book but i listened to his audio course (probably 20 hours total) when i first graduated college and i feel it set me on a good path financially. He gets a lot of shite on here because of his no debt/15 yr mortgage philosophy.

A little outside your parameters but "The Taking of Getty Oil" and "The Big Rich" were two I extremely enjoyed. If anyone knows of some similar books I am all ears.

Uhhh Accounting 101. Concentrate on the cash flow statement and how changes in the balance sheet and income statement impact the cash flow statement.

Do that and you are ahead of 90% of the public.

Expected Returns is a brilliant book, but not for the beginner.

I have read:

Intelligent Investor - Benjamin Graham
The Buy Side - Turney Duff

I know The Buy Side isn't an investing book, but it was still a good read about the rise and fall of a hedge fund trader.

I am currently working my way through Benjamin Graham's Security Analysis.

you might try The Frackers. Great read about McClendon, Ward, Mitchell, Papa and Hamm.

Relevant to these past few months in terms of personal wealth swings of hundreds of millions of dollars.
