Regardless of whether it's fact or fiction, it's no dry read.

The Mind of the Markets
by: F. J. Chu

It's often said that capitalism is amoral. But Chu contends that free market morality is misunderstood. "Capitalism demands discipline, hard work and frugality. It preaches giving more to the system -via investment- than one takes out." There’s certainly more to accumulating wealth than we’re often willing to explore.

While it is a bit dated in some practical advice, such as choosing a face to face broker in the age of online brokerages, it stands up to time well, mapping a plan easy for the layman to grasp. It’s simplified, but does not lack depth or fundamentals. And O'Neil gives more than lip service to recognizing the hard work and discipline needed to succeed in the markets.
