Don't follow the advice on whole life or universal life. I'm an advisor and contend that 95% of cases require term insurance, despite what some commission-hungry agents will try to push (not Slava). I've never seen any book that touts whole life or UL.
I know some good, client-centred advisors in southern Ontario. PM me if you want a referral.
Books? Facts of Life by Grimes and Goldberg is excellent.
This is a very long thread populated by some great advisors who provide good advice. If you want good advice, go to redflagdeals.com/personal finance and look for the stickied thread on top of the page. Post your questions and advisors will give free information and advice. They'll even run quotes for you, if you ask.
Edit: whole life is very expensive, sometimes two or three times the cost at some ages. Buy term and invest the difference, right.
