Way of the Turtle by Curtis M. Faith

Clear, logical and concise. If you learn nothing from this book then you are a master trader or in way over your head (in which case try learning some basics from Forex Trading: Education & Training - Learn FX Currency Trading Online or Investopedia.com - Your Source For Investing Education)
