Advice on good starting off investing books

Helpmemaths

Hey all, im a 2nd year economics and finance student starting out on a bit of investing. Currently ive read the FT guide to investing, robbie burns' naked trader and one or 2 others like willian o neils CAN SLIM method. I have soros' alchemy of finance but i think its a bit deep for me yet!

Basically in summary, are there any other books you guys would recommend to me about starting off investors? I just feel its good to have a background in this before interviews next year!

Really liked Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Neatest-Little-Guide-Market-Investing/dp/0452289211/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1212490326&sr=8-2

In the middle of this one and really like it, a lot about psychology:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trading-Living-Psychology-Tactics-Management/dp/0471592242/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1212490448&sr=1-3

I also bought the follow up, it has been highly recommended by a number of sources:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Come-into-My-Trading-Room/dp/0471225347/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1212490448&sr=1-1

The technical books are all good but I'd always recommend someone to read Benjamin Graham's "The Intelligent Investor" before they start investing for the first time. It gives a beautiful introduction into the personalities and temperament required for investing in the long term.
Should be available very cheap as well, I think Collins published a mass copy one a few years back that should be available 2nd hand for a few euro.

EDIT: sorry OP, just realised you were looking for info more suited towards trading interview prep. In that case, just get your financial theory down to a tee and be able to derive the Black Scholes pricing model etc.
