The Sloth Investor by R P Stevens

If you're coming at this book having heard nothing about investing or retirement planning, then you're all set. The problem, though, is that several other authors have trod this same path before, and R P Stevens offers little in the way of new information that couldn't have been found by reading The Little Book of Common Sense Investing, or The Millionaire Next Door.
With one exception -- he spends an inordinate amount of time talking about expatriates and their investing habits. I was not aware that was what I was about to get into when I picked up this book. As he is a English expat living in Canada, I suppose it's a relevant perspective for him, but it was completely useless for me.
