There's a ton of financial blogs that would help you get started, and those can be more valuable than books. The ones I read are on my blogroll at investingwithoptions.com

Read Van Tharp's Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom it's a must... teaches you that the entry is not important. It's the position sizing, risk management, and the exits.

Also: - Options as a strategic investment

- Mind over markets
