I'm a huge fan of Jack Schwager's Market Wizards books. Most successful traders have learned a great deal from these books.

I agree, I think he's one of the best!
Dennis is one of the best, isn't he. A true legend!!
I know a lot of people have found Michael Covel's work on the turtle method very inspiring. I'm planning to get Covel's book to get a deeper understanding of how the turtle movement was born.

Larry Hite is a great one as well.
He stresses how important it is to manage risk vs. knowing what market.
He gives an example of a Coffee trader who knew everything about Coffee and ended up losing over a 100mil.
Larry on the other hand just looked at it as risk per trade.

No doubt, the coffee trader lost sleep over that one.
