Warren Buffett says one of his keys to success is reading “500 pages a day” so that knowledge builds up “like compound interest.” Though this is untenable for most people, more knowledge about finance will add up. Also, different investing books offer different perspectives. Some are more concentrated on the concepts and principles of investing, and some offer more practical, actionable advice. Both are useful. We recommend starting with a investing book for beginners, one with a good reputation so you’re not getting misguided advice, and then go from there. Many books offer recommended reading so you can branch out from that book list.
