As part of my blog's "Grand Opening," I'd like to announce a monthly book review series. Once a month, I will review a personal finance book and post my thoughts and opinions. I will ultimately give my recommendation on the following:
- Whether or not the book is worth reading. I'll offer insight into who the intended audience is, what kind of advice the book offers, and why I think it is or isn't worth reading.
- If the book is worth reading, I'll offer my opinion as to whether you should buy and keep a copy on your shelf, or pick up a copy from your local library.
- If I find the book to be a favorite, I will add it to the yet to be created "My Recommended Reading" list.
Yes, I'm still in graduate school, but I promise that I won't review any personal finance textbooks. I'm almost positive that no one other than me would be interested in reading (much less purchasing) a personal financial planning textbook. From time to time I may reference some textbooks, but I can promise you there will be no complete review.
There is currently no rhyme or reason to the books I'll pick. I'll probably start with books that look that most intersting to me. Please let me know if there is a book that you would like me to review and I'll be happy to add it to my list.
Check back in December for my review on Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko's "The Millionaire Next Door."
