Wink: You're my kind of guy/gal. Read these:

1. "Intelligent Investor"

2. "The Tao (not a typo) Jones Averages - A Guide to Whole-Brained Investing" by Bennett W. Goodspeed.

3. "Investment Gurus" by Peter Tanous

That's enough to get you started. Mike Burry's thread also mentions a basic book by somebody I think from Columbia. That would work too.
Then you can branch into niches:
Plenty of Books on Buffett. More and More. Which says something, but I don't know what.
Dividend Investing: "The Dividend Rich Investor" by Tiger.
Guys who won in '29-34: "48 Years in the Stock Market" (secret book which nobody knows about -g-. Not in print anymore... sorry couldn't resist mentioning though.)
Any books by John Train: esp. "The Craft of Investing"
Pring's "Investment Psychology Explained"
Grey: "A Thousand Miles from Wall Street" - easy read. Like Lynch. Only maybe better.

My opinion: If you are starting out. Learn from people what will work for the average investor. Because you are an average investor. Therefore emphasis on what Graham or Train say. Deemphasize anything which average investor would lose at: no options, no day trading, no trading at all -g-. No genius stuff that can't be replicated by others. IMO deemphasize (for now) Buffett and maybe, maybe Lynch too. You will be able to tell more about direction you should take - in reading and investing -after you've read first 3 books.
Good investing,
Paul Senior
