Books on Investment

Hi,

I've managed to save money above my cash ISA this year and I want to start learning how to invest my money. This will probably be some form of investment held in an ISA wrapper, but I'm struggling to get kickstarted.

I'd like to get myself a few books and wonder if there are MSE's who have some advice on books for beginners. I'd also like to get a bit more clued up on my pensions investments, but hope that my research will help with this as well.

The ones I have found (but haven't bought) are as follows:

Investing for Dummies (UK Ed.) £7
The Naked Trader (1st or 2nd Ed?) £10
The neatest little guide to stock investing £7

I have Alvin Hall's 'Your Money or Your Life', which is pretty good, but this is a more general and simplistic personal finance book.

Does anybody have advice for beginners research?

Thanks Lokolo. I don't generally like the dummies books, but this one gets pretty good reviews on amazon, although it appears to be biased towards certain investments/strategies, which is what you'd expect of any book I suppose.
