I was a total novice, I got a copy of The Naked Trader, read it on the bus and now have made quite a lot of profit using the easy to understand tips.

Aha, glad I scrolled down, I was about to suggest this book also. It's the only one I've read where I actually remembered the trading tips the next day. It's got a very easy style, and good for the total novice.

I never got as far as actually playing the market though...
