The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing : Second Edition

A comprehensive and authoritative DIY investing handbook that covers estate planning alongside basics — rare in beginner books — and carries Bogle's institutional weight throughout. The trade-off is that it is dense reference material, and the audio format struggles with the embedded numerical examples and tables that make the print version a useful desk companion. Barry Abrams narrates competently; the dryness listeners notice is mostly the material, not the reader.

🎙 Narration: good Abrams delivers a professional, measured reading and later narrated the updated Bogle single-volume — technically solid, though the subject matter is inherently dry and audio is not the ideal format for this reference-heavy book.
