Jively, also if you could provide a reading list for passive index type investing, I would like to add that to the reading list sticky!

Well, the 3 books mentioned in this thread are good, but my favorite is:

The Four Pillars of Investing: Lessons for Building a Winning Portfolio by William J. Bernstein

The other 3 were:
The Intelligent Asset Allocator: How to Build Your Portfolio to Maximize Returns and Minimize Risk by William J. Bernstein
Asset Allocation: Balancing Financial Risk by Roger C. Gibson
Winning the Loser's Game by Charles D. Ellis

I haven't read any Larry Swedroe books, but lots of people here like him.

I'd also say Index Funds The 12-Step Program for Active Investors by Mark T. Hebner is good. I think you can download this e-book for free.
