The best books are the 'Interview' series by Jack Schwager. These date right back to the 1980s until a very recent release last year. They are just interview format books with successful traders from a very wide variety of markets and styles. The key takeaways from the books are 'your investment style must fit your personality' and 'anything is tradeable if you have an edge'. The books will give you a very good grounding in trading concepts as well as open your eyes as to the diversity of people that succeed in the field. It will also help you dismiss 'advice' like 'technical trading is useless' or 'fundamental trading is hopeless', because you will be able to detect the advice-givers bias, and realise that, like anything, it's different strokes for different folks. What matters (in trading, in life) is that you identify an edge you hold, and apply that edge with discipline. And if you don't know what your edge is, you don't have one.
