Depends on your experience and what you'd like to learn.
A good primer is How to Make Money in Stocks by William O'Neil.
Another good one is one of Jim Cramer's books.
If you're more advanced, you might want a technical analysis book like Murphy's Visual Investor or A Technical Analysis Course by Meyer.
If it's discipline, probably Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas or Mastering the Trade John Carter
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Hope this helps!

Seriously, if you want to understand the Market, it takes a lot of learning. There are many sites on line, and at your Community College. I have been through all these programs, but I must admit that I became a little interested in the television show called "Mad Money", featuring "Jim Cramer". I purchased his book called "Real Money", Sane Investing In An Insane World, written by him. If you are looking for an "Overview" of what the Market is like, I recommend this for easy reading, and it is quite informative. Good Luck.

A basic primer on investing is 'The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need" by Tobias. I also endorse O'Neil's book 'How To Make Money In Stocks.'
You might also consider 'Beating the Street' by Peter Lynch and a relatively new one out called 'The Little Book That Beats The Market'

Hey Vicky!
Before you spend any money on books, you should definatley check this article out: http://www.indiahowto.com/what-are-stocks.html
It's a big article (almost like a e-book) and it tells you everything you want to know about the stock market in an easy to understand way!
MUST READ in my opinion!
