I am a professional trader and some of the best readings I've had are already mentioned here..

- Market Wizards (both of them)

- Liars Poker

- Reminiscence of a Stock operator

- John Hull's book on Options (if you're into derivatives) - known as the bible for derivatives trading

Also, I wouldn't spend a dime on any of the TA books. Just a personal opinion.

good book very funny and entertaining!!

While I was at M&A I read "Monkey Business: Swinging Through the Wall"... by John Rolfe an M&A associate at DLJ


Another good book

Barbarian at the gate, relate the LBO over Nabisco by KKR, the biggest LBO in history until last month, Texas Pacific Utility LBO done by KKR again!,

Monkey Business is hilarious! For anyone in IB, they should read it religiously!

Barbarians at the Gate was good too.

Another one - 'When Genius Failed' - it outlines the LTCM debacle - biggest hedge fund blow up ever.

I finished the Jason Zweig book, it is interesting for people who belive in behavioral finance, Like, I see it every day at work

I also read last week John Bogle "little book of common sense investing" where explains the benefit of being indexed

Now I do not have time to read more books because I need time to study the CFA :-( for June's Exam.

The next one would be Against the Gods: The Remakable story of risk Peter L. Bernstein

Every beginner in investing should read this book by David F. Swenson,

Unconventional Success: A Fundamental Approach to Personal Investment

Great book that helps to break down the various methods of investing. The author is the chief investing officer for Yale university.

I just finished a book by a guy named something like Brett Steenbarger called The Psychology of a trader. Every equity/debt investor should read this.
