Books for beginner investors

Have a friend that recently took an interest in investing (blue collar background so unchartered territory) - I learned about it through school/work and am having a tough time recommending books for someone in his position. I need something that gives solid core principles, teaches about how markets work, how to think about investing, etc., but is easily digestible and doesn't have too much jargon. Think and Grow Rich? Beating the Street? Thanks for the recommendations!
