Any of the books already mentioned here are a good place to start. I'd recommend picking 2 or 3 of them in order to make sure your getting a few different perspectives on the same issue, then integrating what makes sense to you personally and what fits your own unique needs. I also recommend Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. Once you've gotten a little education on the subject, I'd recommend talking to a financial professional. I emphasize getting some education first for two reasons: a) it will help you to more effectively communicate your needs, objectives, and limitations to a professional, and b) it will help to guard you against the potential of being 'taken' by someone who doesn't attach a lot of importance to their fiduciary obligations (unfortunately, there are some out there).
