I gotta go with Intelligent Investor by Graham, but Tipping Point by Gladwell is a close second.

Thanks so much for the interesting review of Your Money Ratios by Charles Farrell. We really appreciate the time and effort that went into reading and reviewing this book!

I love books and would have a hard time picking a favorite, but if I had to I’d say Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See. It has nothing to do with money or personal finance, though!

Some of these ratios have been covered in my Finance courses, good take on it by the author, I may have to see if this book is available at my local library to read up extra on it =D

Hmm. Looks like that I have to read The Millionaire Next Door after I read this one (after winning of course) :-).

Recently finished Lynch’s “One Up On Wall Street,” which I found both entertaining and educational. I also like “The Wealthy Barber.”

I haven’t read a lot of finance books, but my favorite so far is John Bogle’s “The Little Book of Common Sense Investing”. It really opened up my eyes about the truths behind many mutual funds and the benefits of index funds.

Rohinton Mistry’s “A Fine Balance”. It has nothing to do with finance, and I will probably never read it again since it is so emotionally gut wrenching, but it is one of the best books I have ever read.

I’ve enjoyed all of Malcolm Gladwell’s books recently. I’m only starting now to read into financials so this book would be a good starter. Here’s hoping!
