I've read a lot. The ones I've purchased and passed along to others:
* The Total Money Makeover, by Dave Ramsey. Good for people whoi want a plan to follow, instead of thinking it up themselves.
* Your Money or Your Life, by Joe Dominguez & Vicki Robinson. Great for an overview of how to think about life effort and priorities, and how frittering away $$ on miscellaneous junk will rob you of a life doing the things you WANT to do.
* Making the Most of Your Money, by Jane Bryant Quinn. She's old school, and not as flashy (thank G*D!) as Suze Orman, but she's RATIONAL and writes well. She also has clear instructions about what you should be doing at various life stages. My edition of this book is from ~ 1995. I think she updated it again in 2005 or so.
