Very good list! I’ve read most of them. But if you only had time to read one book off that list, a “must-read” is “The Four Pillars of Investing.” It was written for liberal arts majors such as myself to demystify investing. Check out the pithy quotes i.e. “A broker services his clients like Bonnie and Clyde used to service banks” and pay attention to the sample portfolios at the end of the book. If all you did was emulate one of those sample low-cost, efficient portfolios and stuck to it for a few decades, you’d be in fine financial shape!

I am going to start reading them all, with “Winning the Losers Game” first.

Have read a few on the list also. My favorites are Bogleheads Guide to Investing and Random Walk.

I did like Eric Tyson’s Personal Finance for Dummies. I just wished the name was different while I was reading it. Tyson is a really good writer.
