Browse the bookstore or Amazon.com for interesting titles and authors, but do not buy anything yet. Even if you found one that is on sale, do not buy it. Write down the titles and authors.

When you have gathered enough titles, conduct a simple research on each title. Look for reviews about the personal finance books on your list.
