Sweeney Todd, The Little Book of Common Sense Investing

I haven't seen any theatrical productions of Sweeney Todd, so I don't have anything to compare the movie against. Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Johnny Depp was fantastic, as was the rest of the cast. All in all, a very good time.

John Bogle's Little Book of Common Sense Investing is probably not aimed at a reader like me. Pretty much, the book boils down to "buy low-expense index funds" and stop throwing money away. Unfortunately, that point is well-made in the first few pages, but the book continues on for another couple hundred. I have enormous respect for Bogle, but I'm already part of the index-fund choir. For those who aren't, this or Daniel Solin's book (but not both) would be a good read.
