The Ultimate Gift by Jim Stovall
I don't usually read motivational books but this book was a gift.
In this book, one follows the story of how one young man goes through a lesson about the ultimate gift that his late uncle has left behind for him. The problem is that he has to complete some tasks over the period of 1 year before he will receive his portion of the will.
A really simple read. Jim Stovall's book is indeed inspirational.
In terms of content, I would rate it 3 out of 5 stars.
In terms of motivating me, I would rate it 5 out of 5 stars.
A Bull in China by Jim Rogers
Jim Rogers is quite a famous investor who currently lives in Singapore.
In this book, Rogers explains why he is bullish on commodities.
While this book was quite an easy read, it lacks a detailed analysis of the conclusions that Rogers is making. While his analysis is indeed logical, I would have preferred more details and concrete examples/statistics into how one can invest profitably in China.
This book is still a rather good read though.

Four Pillars of Investing by William Bernstein
What can I say about this book? It definitely goes into one of my classic reads. Dr Bernstein is able to present the four pillars of investing in such a clear and coherent manner even for amateur investors. The knowledge that I have gained from this book is tremendous. I wished that I was introduced to this book much earlier as it has re-written all my conceptions about investment, asset allocation, etc.
After reading this book, I have decided that there is a need to re-look into my entire investment approach and the results that I am hoping to achieve.
A must read for any investor.
