If you follow the StockTickr Interview Series (RSS feed), you know that one of my favorite questions to ask is what three books they recommend traders read.  I admit there are selfish reasons behind this question – I want to read what they recommend!

I’ve been meaning to tally up this list for a long time.  I had an idea which books were coming up again and again in their recommendations, but I had no idea that there were 75 unique books recommended so far.  It seems like a consensus has formed at the top – Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom is the runaway winner and for good reason, in my opinion.  It was also interesting to me to see books recommended that were completely unrelated to trading (or so it seemed).

Here’s the current tally with links to the interviews where they were originally recommended.
