I think it's still one of the best all-time reads, especially in terms of fundamental stock market analysis. It's so straightforward and easy to both understand and implement. <em>Richest Man in Babylon</em> is of a completely different sort. Very quick read, but with a lot of value. I'm not a fan of <em>Random Walk</em>, but that's probably because I don't really go in for Random Walk or Efficient Market Theory. :-) The interesting thing is how little concensus there is among the survey participants. Only four books got 2 or more votes. One Up on Wall Street was one of the first market books I ever read.

Most of these books tend to focus entirely on "spend less than you earn" philosophy. I was hoping someone would recommend a good real estate investing book; good precious metals or commodities book; and other tactical investment books on how to generate wealth and/or create successful businesses. I recommended a conservative options trading book which (in my opinion) has some real potential for teaching people how to make money from stocks they may already own or may eventually own.
