"Probably the most famous book ever written on making money in real estate. William Nickerson and his book HOW I TURNED $1,000 INTO ONE MILLION IN REAL ESTATE IN MY SPARE TIME has probably created more millionaires than any other book in investing history. It simply is a masterpiece of common sense advice."

I have read at least half of the books listed. They are all well written (obviously) and captivating reads.
My favorite money book is "Your Money or Your Life" by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin. It should be read by every young person when they start working for a living.
