I personally loved "The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing"

The Boglehead philosophy gives one a sense of humility in a world that's driven by hype and market timing. If we are to believe that financial markets are more-or-less efficient, then it stands to reason that you won't be able to consistently pick stocks that perform better than market averages. It teaches you how to grow your wealth in the long run by investing in low fee, unmanaged index funds. It also talks about how to invest in a tax-efficient manner and how to spend/invest appropriate amounts of your income. All around its the best primer to finance that I have read.
