I also vote for Rich Dad Poor Dad (Kiyosaki) and The Richest Man in Babylon (Classon).
Kiyosaki may be basic and general but that would be exactly what an 18 year old needs. The Richest Man in Babylon teaches the mindset.
From then, Jan Somer's books for an introduction into property and then I suggest Neil Jenman and Terry Ryder's books for a good analysis of how the property market works.
Spann, Yardney, Reno Kings, etc are also recommended.
I generaly don't recommend Noel Whittaker's books: they're not aimed at teaching you how to get rich. His books only teach you how to survive. Not a bad idea if you already have terrible money habits, but if you're looking to learn how to get rich (instead of just looking to get out of a hole) don't read his books. On that level, Jenman's books aren't out to teach you how to get rich either, but someone who is already interested / experienced in property will learn a LOT from reading his book (I know I did).
