I'd like to learn about finance.

[soapstar]

Little background, I'm 24, earn a pretty decent income on an oil rig, I own a couple million $ worth of investment real estate, but I really don't know anything about investing. Real estate is all I know, its what I'm comfortable with, its what I do, and I haven't made any effort to learn anything else but I would like to branch out elsewhere.

I'd like to learn everything that a finance degree from a major university would teach me, without actually going to school.

What are some good books or primers to start with? Please assume I know nothing of the stock market or any basics of economics(which is basically true). I want to learn from the ground up and get a solid grasp on all the fundamentals.

I'm hoping someone could point me toward the right direction.
