This book gets similar criticisms as Kiyosaki's but it is actually very good.
The Four Hour Work Week is really good. Tim Ferris is legit.
The following are three of my favorite books on BFI type topics:
1.
COMPLEXITY: The Emerging Science at the Edge of Order and Chaos
http://www.amazon.com/COMPLEXITY-EME...26BMZ7R6BNCQWT
This book helped realize that most of what I was taught at school (top 10 or so US institution) in finance (and econ) was akin to Newtonian physics (and therefore pretty much wrong), but that today most of what happens is much more like quantum mechanics.
2.
Structure and Change in Economic History
http://www.amazon.com/Structure-Chan...GA96748FWG9VAH
IMO Doug North is the man. I had him my senior year and this book is the nuts when it comes to economics.
3.
The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve
http://www.amazon.com/Creature-Jekyl...WMZH6V9WME1CGB
I really like this book. History is so cool and Griffin is an excellent researcher.
...I won't bother with the links and descriptions but Taleb is awesome. Fooled by Randomness and Antifragile are probably must reads. Here is a report he did for the CFR that is truly illuminating:

I am glad that I read Soros (very insightful) and Buffet and Graham and Gann. That is about all I've got off the top of my head.
