Default Books to learn about investing

Periodically someone asks for books to help them learn about investing. Can we make a sticky thread so we can keep a running list?

Here's my suggestions:
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Rich -- to help you set your goals for how much to save each year, and how much your "financial freedom" goal should be
The Intelligent Asset Allocator -- explains why it's good to be invested in a mix of different kinds of stocks and bonds
The Boglehead's Guide to Investing -- basics on mutual funds
