Recommend Me Must-Read Books (Business/Psychology/Anything)
 
Books like "Think and Grow Rich" etc. Whether it's for business sense, psychology, academic thinking etc.

I was a huge Marvel Comics fan when I was younger, now I never get around to reading comics anymore. Too much studying and stuff.

DH and everyone else thanks for the suggestions, most have been added to my "to-read" list :thumbsup

Dave Ramsey - The Total Money Makeover

A lot of basic stuff but he spells it out clearly - live below your means and mass savings, don't use credit, don't buy new shit, don't "keep up with the Joneses." He quotes The Millionaire Nextdoor alot.
