D, >Peter Lynch (sp?) "One Up On Wall Street." Just to offer a different perspective, Peter Lynch is as dangerous for newbies as the TFM. The book way oversimplifies investing, offers some really dated advice and some yucky shortcuts "buy what you know". Hmm, as in Fruit of the Loom and Marvel Comics? But then almost all investment books make it seem simple. Otherwise they would not sell. And the really good ones are presumably incredibly boring. Think Graham or Ken Fisher. The only approach is to read a lot, invest for yourself a lot and then decide which advice is sound and which is not. Unfortunately, darbyc does not have "energy and time" for that Jurgis - Lynch's an easy read though - or "how I sold everything in panic but still made top returns"
