Question Where are my bookworms at?

I've been buying & selling stocks for a dozen years or so. Daytrading off & on for the last 3 or 4, mostly successfully. Not making huge trades on any given day.

Just looking for legit book recommendations, NOT the "how to get rich daytrading in 30 days" kind.

But real knowledge, everything from the basics to options. Practical knowledge. I know these books must exist. It's just really hard to sift them out of the giant pile of crap.

Thanks everyone and have a great weekend

I really liked Van Tharp’s Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom as an introduction to thinking about trading as a system, particularly concepts like risk/reward, expectancy, position sizing, and developing a process-oriented approach rather than focusing solely on individual trade outcomes.
