The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing
Taylor Larimore, Mel Lindauer, Michael LeBoeuf, John C. Bogle
This is a good book. It summarizes much information which is found elsewhere. I think of it more as a reference guide than a book to be read beginning to end.
My main criticism is that it covers to much ground, and touches on subjects from investing to wills to 529 plans to insurance. As such, it lacks focus. It is almost too abmbitious in its scope. Still, if you follow the advice in the chapters on investing, you should do very well.
If you are interested in investing, go straight to the source and read Jack Bogle's Little Book of Common Sense Investing. It is better written. This book could be a follow up to that book.
Still, this book is worth reading and is better than 90% of investing books out there. I have given copies of the book to others and they have always responded favorably.
