1: Fabulous, wise book!
Brilliant, inspiring, and short -- a great combination. Bogle understands our finance/investment systems as well as anyone in the world, from the inside, and presents here the clearest, most concise diagnosis of what is wrong I have ever read. A return to the fundamental values and integrity that he calls for would go a long way in repairing the tragic problems we are currently living through. The wisdom and lessons are relevant far, far beyond the world of finance -- greater appreciation of the idea of "ENOUGH" would help heal what is currently wrong in our care (or lack thereof) of the environment, in our approaches to medicine, and much else. And it's not just a matter of "ethics" -- it's a prerequisite to happiness.
A great gift for all your friends and loved ones.

2: Bogle's Wise and Decent Advice
I guess I've probably read every book John Bogle has ever published. Does he repeat himself? Thankfully, yes. Some lessons are not fully learned the first time around, especially when so much "investment" advice runs contrary to the long term, conservative approach that Bogle espouses. Can you lose money following his advice? Of course. Investing entails risk. But over time,the typical investor will do well to heed his words.
A good and decent man. A good place to start when you are seeking investment advice.

3: Great economic advice--too late
This book, published in January, is best written analysis of the 2008
economic crisis. I wish I would have read it in the spring !

4: Oh so refreshing
John "Jack" Bogle has hit a homerun with this book. There are so many though provoking ideas that I'm amazed that most of Americans choose to ignore them. I hope that this book wakens all of us on how far America has fallen from its solid foundation(s) to a country that is riddled with fraud and dishonesty. I couldn't get enough of Enough!

5: Reality check
This is a wonderful book. The first paragraph sums up the problem with the finacial sector today. Greed is the root of all of the problems that we are facing today. With bailouts totaling more than $1T world wide we are supporting an industry that dug its own hole. $1T is, by the way, $170 for every man woman and child in the world.
John Bogle talks about this and the idiocy that has been taking place over the last 20 years or so.
