Inteligent Investor is a great read. My top 5 investing/trading books (I've probably read 40-50 over the past five years)...
1. Intelligent Investor - for obvious reasons.
2. You Can Be a Stock Market Genius - Joel Greenblatt
Greenblatt's a legendary value guy,, and this book focuses on how you can outperform via spinoffs, arbitrage, and special situations.
3. The Five Rules for Successful Stock Investing: Morningstar's Guide to Building Wealth and Winning in the Market - Pat Dorsey
Dorsey's a very intelligent guy, as he developed some of Morningstar's stock picking methodology. This book is great for understanding competitive advantage, free cash-flow valuation, and repeats margin of safety.
4. Trading in the Zone - Mark Douglas
This book focuses on establishing the right mindset for trading and sticking by your defined rules.
5. Fooling Some of the People, All of the Time - David Einhorn
Einhorn's an awesome long/short hedge fund manager. This book in itself can be kind of boring/repetitive, but I think Einhorn shows you how and why his research is so respected. For other reference, see his presentation on Green Mountain from late 2011.
Peter Lynch's books are also a great read, IMO.
