tl:dr any recommendations for a finance/business for beginners book?

Ok so I am trying to fully understand the financial world (i.e basically understand more or less the purpose of everything in a Financial Times newspaper) and I am having a hard time as I keep mixing up concepts, forgetting the meanings of different terms etc. I was curious if anyone out there has a recommendation for a decent book that covers most financial issues at least to a beginners degree that I could read and that is also entertaining to read (so no textbooks). I've read for example Thomas Sowells "Basic Economics" to get a grip on well.. basic economics, which I felt was the perfect balance between entertaining and informative. Does anyone know of any similar books out there for the world of finance and business? I already read articles on investopedia for example and always google concepts that I don't understand but I feel that isn't enough and I'd need at least a good covering of the basics.

Not really a Finance book per se but check out "The Millionaire Next Door"

Have you guys read it? Will I have a better grasp on the cause of the financial crisis, things like quantitative easing, and financial derivatives/futures market etc after reading it?

Take some community college courses on finance. That should give you a good understanding. As for trading, try googling everything. Investopedia.com is great.
