I just went to the book store to pick up a book on investing (stocks, mutual funds for the long term or any general knowledge as I am a newbie). I noticed that there are a lot of books out there.
I know it takes discipline, time and research to invest properly. So I just want some knowledge to make some proper decisions in the future when I am ready.
I wanted to know what you guys out there read and recommend.
Thanks!

The best books for novices are RULE #1 by Phil Town and THE NEATEST LITTLE GUIDE TO STOCK MARKET INVESTING by Jason Kelly.
See my Amazon list of recommended books on stock investing:

I think the best book is "The Little Book that Beats the Market" by Joel Greenblatt. This is a book on value investing that discusses the 2 most important criteria for picking stocks: low PE and high return-on-capital. There is a website that has stocks that meet his criteria: www.magicformulainvesting.com
The following is a portfolio of stocks that currently meet his criteria:

The starter book should be Bogle on Mutual Funds by John Bogle, founder of Vanguard. After that, the series of several books by Larry Swedroe. Also, start reading the Diehards Forum on Morningstar.com. There is a lot of junk out there. Be careful!
