“A truly good book teaches me more than to just read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.” – Henry David Thoreau


“There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.” – Ray Bradbury”¨”¨


The best place to start is by learning from others' mistakes and success. These 27 investing books are sure to help you in the world of investing, learning from the very best. I have been reading relentlessly as I always do, but even more so now that the beautiful weather has arrived and my school break is still in full effect. I have read a lot of books in the recent years, most related to investing, psychology, business, (auto)biographies and economics; these are the ones that come to mind effortlessly.
