Good books on investing?

[thermarest]

I can't recommend a book, but I ditto the suggestion to read Vanguard's website. Lots of good, level-headed information. There are of course lots of details to know about investing, but there is one easy fact. A Roth IRA is by far the best long-term financial thing that any middle-class type person can do. For me, putting the max $4k in every year is a top priority. Exactly what investments to have within your Roth IRA, well that's what you should read about.
