Property and Share investing books

Hi keen investors of ozbargain, I’m looking for suggestions of books to read about property and share investment. Looking for early retirement strategies and long term growth strategies. Thanks.
Beginner here, never invested into shares, I do own a block of land so I have a very basic understanding of how to buy a property.

  • Rich Dad Poor Dad - Youtube it first

    • Lots of Rich Dad content on YouTube, thanks I will check it out.

  • I do own a block of land

    Are you doing anything with this block of land atm?

    Barefoot Investor seems a perennial favourite.

    • Was thinking about building my PPOR but currently have put those plans on hold. Got a little bit of equity in the land so I want to research more before making any further moves.

  • Investing All-in-one for Dummies (8 books in one). One of the few dummies books I thought was not dumbed down.

  • The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas Stanley
    The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing and/or The Bogleheads' Guide to Retirement Planning
    The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clason
    The Barefoot Investor: The Only Money Guide You'll Ever Need (2018 Edition) by Scott Pape
    and my personal favourite
    Motivated Money - Peter Thornhill

      Bought and read Motivated Money and after reading it has definitely changed my mindset around the sharemarket. I didn't get much out of the Barefoot Investor books that I haven't hard elsewhere and I have my own systems for managing money but it does give a good idea of simple foundation for managing money.
      I would note that these books seem to be sharemarket focussed compared to property focussed.
      Thanks for the recommendations though!

        I thought it was only me who thinks that Barefoot Investor didn't give too much! I guess, it might give more insights to people who're currently having trouble with money. But if you're not, then it only gives some little tips and reminders.
