Book/Author Recommendations...

[Chris Chase]

Who are your favorite authors and what are your favorite personal finance books? I am looking for books/authors that focus on the nuts and bolts of personal finance i.e. building a nest egg, saving and investing for retirement, creating and protecting wealth etc. I have read a couple of Kiyosaki's books and now I am ready to get into the more practical oriented books. Thanks!

Here is the best personal finance books that I have come across:


Dave Ramsey - The Total Money Makeover (A proven Plan for Financial Fitness)




Suze Orman - 9 steps to financial freedom




Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin - Your Money or Your Life: transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence




Eric Tyson - Personal Finance for Dummies




Suze Orman - The Road to Wealth

Thanks a lot GMAN! Are you familiar with the WSJ's Complete Personal Finance Guidebook? I picked it up and put it at the top of my reading list. It seemed clear, concise and straightforward. I will definitely have to check out Suze Orman as I have heard many, many people suggest her.
