Kristy,
How To Make Money In Stocks by William J. O’Neil is where I would tell you to start. It is where I started in college with market related books.

Another fun read is:
How I Made $2,000,000 In The Stock Market
by Nicolas Darvas

Ignore the title and read the book, fun reading rather than boring.

Let me know how you make out.

Chris,

I realize it’s almost the end of summer, but hey, I need a fall read now Looking at the list of books you suggested, I’m having a hard time picking one. I’m new to the stock market and the last time I picked up a stock market book, I understood only about 70% and it took me forever to get through. Do you have any advice or recommendations for someone who is more new to investing (and in college) and still wants to learn the basics? Thanks!

I just returned from Europe – The Godfather book was amazing. So much better and more detailed than the movie which I watched for the first time last night after reading the book.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for this great selection of books! I already have “How To Make Money In Stocks” by William J. O’Neil. Great book! If you were to recommend two others to someone desiring to be a VALUE investor, what would they be?

Thanks,
-Mandy

PS. Maybe I’m thinking of someone else, but I thought you had a subscription based website too.

The Godfather is outstanding. I think i read the entire book in less than a week. We are talking about almost 500 pages.

Re: “by the way, Continental quoted us $1,800 one way to fly our 100lb lab to Europe” … Yeah.. And they charge $5.00 for a bowl of water, $7.50 for a doggie chew.. And don’t even ask what it costs for your lab to watch wild kingdom on his seat-back screen either..

Anyway… Hope you were just joking about shipping your dog.. Foreign countries have all sorts of restrictions on pets..
