#4 Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefèvre
This book is not your typical how to type of book. It is much more valuable than that. This is a classic book written almost 100 years ago. Every stock trader or investor should read this book before they even consider placing their first trade. This book sheds light on the ups and downs that a trader will go through during his or her career, and the importance of having the mental fortitude to carry forward even after a losing streak.

#5 The Investment Answer by Daniel C Goldie & Gordon Murray
This little-known book is a short, but comprehensive spark notes on all the little investment tips that people get at parties and family get-togethers by the friend or family member that thinks he's Ray Dalio. I couldn't think of a better book to read that will provide more value for any investor.
