Book/Author Recommendations...

[Chris Chase]

Who are your favorite authors and what are your favorite personal finance books? I am looking for books/authors that focus on the nuts and bolts of personal finance i.e. building a nest egg, saving and investing for retirement, creating and protecting wealth etc. I have read a couple of Kiyosaki's books and now I am ready to get into the more practical oriented books. Thanks!

Thanks a lot GMAN! Are you familiar with the WSJ's Complete Personal Finance Guidebook? I picked it up and put it at the top of my reading list. It seemed clear, concise and straightforward. I will definitely have to check out Suze Orman as I have heard many, many people suggest her.
