Thanks for the list! One of my goals next year is to read one PF book a month. Your Money or Your Life is what I’m reading for January. I’m sure I’ll be back to consult this list when I decide on books for the rest of the year!

Thanks for sharing the results. I’ve read or am reading about half of these. Good to have more to tackle.

I’ve had several friends recommend Your Money or Your Life, and surprisingly I’ve never read it. It is #1 in my queue for “Books to Read in 2008.” Thanks for the great suggestions!

To Josh above, just curious why you can’t stand Dave Ramsey? I understand he can be abrasive at times, but I think his message and plan is great. I’m not one of these “gazelle intense” folks yet but I believe in his program. I’m just interested in hearing the opinion of an anti-Ramsey guy.

great list of books…

I read Your Money or Your Life and I found it life changing. It changed my way of thinking. I still use its ideas. My fav on your list.

I would like to read “The Wealthy Barber” and “Debt is Slavery”. I plan to pick those up real soon.

As far as stock books go, depending on your level of interest, the best book to start out with is Peter Lynch’s “Beating the Street”. I also like Siegel and Graham’s book mentioned above, but Lynch does a fantastic job of explaining how every day people can invest in the market. I feel like Graham’s book, while the bible of all fundamental investors, is a little heavy depending on where you are coming from.

Not exactly a book, but there’s a free Excel workbook (Excel 97) that provides guidance in constructing a livable budget.

Personally, I cannot stand Dave Ramsey, but that’s just me.

That looks like a great list. I’ve read several so far and the rest are going on my wish list.
