I haven't read this one yet. Perhaps more importantly I have not yet read this one with my wife;)

While I was previously an occasional reader I've now added you to my blogroll.

I would probably vote for "Your Money or Your Life." I think it would depend on what topic you really want - debt reduction, investing, saving, etc. But YMOYL is an excellent, excellent book that most pf bloggers would agree is a top 5er. I think Trent at The Simple Dollar said that was the book that kicked it off for him.

what would be the best personal finance book to read if you were to only read one?

(I have two very small children and little free time lol)

I read this book a few years ago.

The book is pretty decent for a basic understanding of personal finance and investing. It lacks detail and refinement in several areas, and reminds me too much of the Dr. Phil 'comon sense' approach that Bach is famous for. He is a pretty good marketer, I'll give him that...

Hey BB,
I always wanted to read that book, since I will be living with my girlfriend when I move. You are now on my blogroll, sorry it should have been there earlier it totally slipped my mind.

Mike - so you did - should've run through my bookmarks first! Great minds run in the same channels, eh? Well, it works out well for me since you're cross-promoting the book I'm giving away, then. It is a good book, and short of maybe three other books it's one of the best books on personal financial planning I've read.

I haven't read the book yet, but I am still working through "Your Money or Your Life". I think this giveaway is a great idea, and good luck to the winner.

Ironically I posted on this book tonight...

I just read the book about a month ago and I would say that it is very good.

I'll excuse myself from the competition since I'd rather the book go to someone who hasn't read it yet.
