Books I've Read

One of the best ways to increase your financial intelligence is to read books.  It's probably the most inexpensive way to do so especially if you have a friend you can borrow them from or an e-reader.  Below you will find a list of books I've read.  I've arranged them into categories so you can find what you're looking for quickly .  Keep in mind that financial intelligence is all-around, not just real estate.  Also, I try to read authors with differing view points (especially from my own).  I like to hear all sides and then formulate my own decision.  I also read self help and general business books.  These books have been key to my success.  Please feel free to comment on your favorites or what I have here.
