The Bogleheads' Guide to Retirement Planning by John C. Bogle, Taylor Larimore, Mel Lindauer and Richard A. Ferri

Interesting book, but with focus on American realities, still worth to read

 

Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas

The book is very interesting, and I learned a lot from it, but is a bit too long, after reading half of it it seems like author is repeating same thing over and over again, and the real meaning of the book could be written on few A4 pages, anyway I am glad I could read it

good book about cheap living, but some of the ideas like how to make own washing powder seemed to be ******

same author but the book more interesting than the one above

 

Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

I bought this book and was so disappointed with it that I got rid of it. It seemed for me like the main reason to write this book was to show off with oh, ah posh language, lost of words, no content. some people like it, I don't

 

Market Wizards: Interviews with Top Traders by Jack D. Schwager

good book with nice stories, but after reading half of it I had enough. The stories are different, but seem to be very similar. I stopped when I got to story of a guy that got some shares from his father on 13th birthday, and since then markets were all his life - a bit pathetic for me. I will probably come back to rest of stories, but this one was like reading about somebody's sad life

 

The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy by Thomas J. Stanley Ph.D. and William D. Danko

this book changed the way I am looking at life. I know that having average life is better than living like a king, that I don't need to live in palace and drive expensive cars, that life is about something more than money

 

Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom by Van Tharp

a really good book, it is bit boring but has lot's of knowledge, and will read it again
