Books to read to get rich

This is one of the best readings lists I've come across in a long time.  Though I found it posted four days ago, you will note that it was originally published on May 6th, a wealth of information for both career success and market success.  Some of these titles I've never heard of but they certainly look intriguing.  Others look like they may be worthless or, worst, scams.  But there are a few that are well known classics and perhaps we'll find a few others on the list too.

Books to read to get rich - Business Insider


Note: the ones that I know to be classics and have already read myself include "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, probably the most well known success guru in the country, "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing" by John C. Bogle, arguably the most successful investor in the world, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money (that the poor and middle class do not)," this book was considered a classic when I was in business school 35 years ago, "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham who was Warren Buffett's mentor and probably the most successful investor of the 20th century, "One Up on Wall Street," by Peter Lynch, the genius behind the Magellan Fund, the most successful mutual fund in history, "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" by Princeton professor Burton Malkiel (I first read this in the MBA program and still think it's the best book on investing ever published), also "The Elements of Investing" by same, and of course, no library on investing is complete without the bible of the man considered the most successful investor of the last 55 years, none other than the Oracle of Omaha himself, "The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America."  That's enough to keep everyone busy for a while.
