Anything written by James Ellroy
I stopped reading trading books long ago...
Because so few of them are useful.
Though I might recommend:
Fooled By Randomness, Taleb
(Unless you ** instinctively ** understand and apply these concepts...
Then you are in the wrong game and won't last long.)
No Beast So Fierce, Eddie Bunker
(It's important to understand what makes Mr. Blue tick).

Taleb's work is outstanding, and in addition, West of Wall Street by Barry Haigh, for getting a feel for the thought process on the floor.
Gary Smith's books, Live the Dream, and How I Trade.
The Human Stain, for non-trading fiction, by Phillip Roth.
Anything written by Stephen Hunter.
Waiting for the arrival in the mail of Poker Face of Wall Street, by Aaron Baker.
For options, anything by Charles Cottle, who's classes I took (then forgot so much of through disuse).

Dan Baker.
Three stories stand out:
A successful man who lost his business, employees and son in the Trade Center and shortly after, his wife dying. He found the purpose of his life again: to build another business.
A major rock star who would either die of overdose out on his next tour or cancel the tour, live, and have lawsuits filed against him worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The chuckle:
A lady in a mental institution who has to wear a helmet during all waking hours to prevent her skull from crushing because she can't stop banging it repeatedly into a wall.
(She wasn't very happy...but greatly improved.)
