I’d consider anything written less than 3 months ago suspect. But then, some of the old truisms are still valid,.. buy low, sell high.

I have a ‘brilliant’ sure-fire investment plan that is guaranteed to make anyone a millionaire: Just start with a penny and double it every day for 3 weeks.

His books may be out of print, but anything by John Train, specifically "Preserving Capital and Making it Grow" is both enlightening and entertaining.
Malkiel's "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" is a classic and worth reading.
"Stocks for the Long Run" by Jeremy Siegel is something that describes the equities market well.
Richard Band's "Contrary Investing" is a good book too.
All of these authors share one theme in common: The basis of successful investing is to avoid losing your capital. They all offer good, conservative advice.

I would recommend that you steer clear of anything by Matthew Lesko though...

Actually, you’d have to double it every day for about 4 weeks. Never mind!

“How to Make Money in Stocks” by Wm J. O'Neil, founder of Investors Business Daily. After that I recommend the three book set by Justin Mamis.

Subscribe to Forbes.
Read it all every two weeks. It will grow on you and the acrued info will begin to take effect.
Read especially the columns in the back.
There is plenty there and it will not overwhelm you yith superflous details.
