Throw me a book or anything related to dating and love I'd devour it with fervour. But financials & investments? Duh..

Does anyone have ant good suggestions to help me get motivated to learn about this subject matter and execute them?

I'm not sure if I shd create a new thread or post it as reply. The moderators can decide if there's a need to shift this post ya? thanks!

Any help is appreciated!
The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clasen, it's incredibly easy to read, it's very straightforward, it's engaging, well-written, and is one of my top three favorite books of all time. It's basically a series of parables about wealth and finances, but it really, honestly is a great read, there are amazing quotes on every page, once you pick it up you won't want to put it down. Plus it's pretty short, you can probably finish it in one sitting. So yeah, Richest Man in Babylon! That and Think! And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. And Market Wizards and New Market Wizards, though that just might be because I'm completely addicted to reading books about successful people. They're really just two books chock full of in-depth interviews with multimillionaire (and billionaire!) traders about their professional and personal lives, their life philosophies, it's pretty much personal development porn.
