What are you looking to learn? Not like reading a book about fundamental investing is going to teach you how to do a dcf or that learning about a dcf means you’ll start modeling each investment. I would look for some online guides about basics and then google as needed. Better yet just start reading financial news

Reminisces of a Stock Operator is either a fiction or the retelling of stories of a stock broker early in the 20th century.

I think its really interesting because ot shows the human side of trading and teaches some pretty basic lessons around timing, different ways the mc finds investment opportunities, the impact of buying, selling, and the more strategic side of executing trades.

It doesnt really teach you anything, but you can use it as a starting point to understand how to make money trading.

Investing for dummies. I started there. It was pretty good for someone who had never heard anything.
