Re: Let\'s Read

fwiw, I'm majoring in financial instruments and quantitative finance at NYU (MBA) and will share what books we've read (all provide a solid foundation):
Investments by Bodie, Kane, and Marcus (this is an intro to finance book: CAPM, fixed income, options, valuation, etc)
Hull's book on derivatives
Damodaran's book on valuation (he teaches at NYU and is great for valuation)
Tuckman's book on fixed income securities (even if you don't care about bonds/swaps/options/forwards, the book is heavy on binomial trees, risk neutral probabilities, and creating replicating portfolios, which I believe helps in developing a trader/investor mindset)
Those are the biggies so far, in case you're interested in what the finance schools use.

Hull is a classic
Damodaran's Corp Fin book is great, and everyone I know at NYU loves him, so I'll assume the valuation book is good as well
Tuckerman I don't know
"Investment Science" by Luenberger is a less unnecessarily wordy version of BKM
edit: that being said, I doubt any of these are what we're looking for here.
