There's quite the difference between a textbook and an investing book. If you read my comment again, you will notice that I recommend getting textbooks. Damodaran's Corporate Finance is a textbook. Taleb's books and any other "philosophy of investing" are junk. Some philosophy of investing books provide some value but only after the reader already has quite the knowledge and experience. tl;dr - Read the curriculum, not amazon's top section.
