 | One Up on Wall Street by Peter/ Rothchild, John Lynch
Buy used from: $11.96 Peter Lynch, the very successful manager of the Fidelity Magellan mutal fund wrote this book just after the end of the 1987 recession. I highly recommend the 1st edition of this book and its amazingly timely advice for 2009. I'll also read the 2nd edition (2000) later.
Warning: don't get the "mini" condensed version, currently the only version available on the Kindle.
