IF YOU REALLY WANT TO RAISE YOUR INVESTING INTELLIgence, hit the books. Even reading just 15 minutes a day can make a big difference. Beyond magazines and the business section of your daily newspaper you might be surprised by how many fascinating books are out there about investing.

The titles on this list are so chock-full of practical wisdom that they enable investors of all levels to learn something new. And with summer now in full swing, these books also make for great beach reading.
