Good options book?

[wickedgoodtrader]

I have general knowledge of options from reading around on the internet but am now thinking of trading them so I want s good book that teaches me about them. Not so much about strategy.. as I have a strategy in mind. I'm going to be playing puts because I don't want unlimited risk with shorting. Any suggestions?

the hull book is a wonderful text

[edtost]

nassim taleb's book is also very good

Options as a Strategic Investment is the "classic" text on the subject, but I'd start with Sheldon Natenberg's Option Volatility & Pricing: Advanced Trading Strategies and Techniques.

I would also suggest any aspiring trader read Nassim Taleb's Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets.
