Stock Trading and Other Things

What are the Best Stock Investing Books for a beginner?

I am 21 and i am just starting out. Upon visiting my local bookstore i see there too many books so i want to know if i were to narrow it down to three which three should i buy. I have heard about Benjamin Gram's "The intelligent investor" and Pat Dorsey's "5 simple rules..."

I want to know if anyone has experience or insight.

1. "the Intelligent Investor" is almost a must read. Another that I like is "Sensible Stock Investing" David Van Knapp. For beginners I think " Investing for Dummies" is a good beginning. Also worth the effort is "All About Asset Allocation" Richard Ferri.
