Books I liked a lot --> Market Wizzards (all three of them)
I liked Market Wizzards a lot because I could see which strategy of the trader I like the most, and that was 
then CANSLIM. The thing is that I did a bit of canslim before even not knowing it (basically I loked for growth companies
with a scalable business model an a moderate valuation and the bought no matter what the market said).
