Since I'm mainly interested in risk and volatility, this list might be a bit biased but here we go:
A random walk down Wallstreet
Options and volatility pricing, by Natenberg
Why stock markets crash, by Didier sornette
Manias, panics and Crashes by Aliber and Kindleberger
Debt: the first 5000 years
I studied it, got the cfa designation, worked in the field.
Yet to see a better, more accurate or more succinct treatment than "A Random Walk Down Wall St" by Malkiel. Can't recommend it enough. Readable. Required knowledge.
