Watching this thread, I'm in a similar position. I have the Lars book ready to start soon and often read Moneyvator. I'll look at the other bits too. I feel the point sbout multiple references is important (in most fields). Although the amount of references I have heard for Global Trackers suggests you'd be pretty silly to entirely side step them!1

This book for a person just starting out should be mandatory (it's written well but not a big book)

Not just about stocks but covers them a fair bit. Great book. https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/I-Will-Teach-You-to-Be-Rich-Audiobook/B07QNZGR2H?source_code=M2M30DFT1Bk13106022002IH&&ipRedirectOverride=true&gclid=Cj0KCQiAw_H-BRD-ARIsALQE_2MN_d4eUHGbltmWwPSdLk939md5uHstxgLjb-cFDDL3ie2mxn91DDkaAsDZEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds1
