A great place to start
I think most people who are somewhat clueless to the stock market would benefit from reading this book. What I like is that it is full of easy examples. Even though I have read some books concerning the same issue, this book was helpful to me. He gives you lots of hints, or should I say quotes other investors, in how to be a good investor, i.e CANSLIM , and basics things like beating the Dow. The downside is, however that if you're not from U.S.A, including me, you will find many pages that are not worthy reading, like Internet resources for American companies. This equals a very good book, which is worth every minute.

Investments: Are they for me? Where do I start?
Seth Godin discusses the stock market and other investment instruments in a serious but interesting and fun manner. The book is written for an audience that has little or no understanding of the investment world. Even though the audience has very little experience, the book accomplishes the task of warning you about the high risk of investing while giving you the knowledge and steps to get started. He discusses how to manage the risk but makes the point clear, there is no such thing as a risk free investment in the stock market. The book is resource rich (identifies needed tools and where to get them) and right on time for the year 2000 market place. It addresses the bull and the bear market. It is a easy read and a great introduction to investing. When you complete the book, you will have a basic understanding of the stock market and how to get started. I highly recommend this book to all beginners and people with light experience or knowledge of the investment world.
