Favorite "Second Level" financial books?

[hemoglobinRed]

When I peruse Yahoo News they like to show me plenty of fluff financial articles explaining the basics of "start young," "get the company match," pick low cost funds," etc. The books at my local library are about as good although they take a few hundred pages to express the same concepts. This advice is starting to sound like a broken record.

What do people consider good second level books? Or a book I can gloss over the first couple chapters?

so you've probably read the Bogle books? I think it's hard because if Americans are so in debt, not contributing to their 401k, etc, those first line books remain popular and necessary.

How about Warren Buffett, he's written and recommended many books:

and if you google his suggested books, there are a ton. Plus, those he's written. He should have something that piques your interest, I would assume

This advice is starting to sound like a broken record.

The reason for that is because the vast majority of people still aren't doing those things. If you are, then you should be all set. Just stay the course.

There really isn't a whole lot more to it. Personal finance is not rocket science. There are just a few basic rules to follow. Once you've done that, it gets pretty boring.

Unless you want to complicate matters, take greater risk, get involved in more esoteric investments, I'm not sure what else there is to read about honestly.

You can learn more about the economy, monetary policy, etc., but that won't really have any impact on what you do personally. It would just help you better understand the system.
