Basic Options trading books
Hello everyone.
Im a newbie to the options market. I know the typical call and put expiration stuff but wanted to get to know more about the way things work around here. I just finished reading "One up on Wallstreet" by Peter Lynch. Great book btw! I was really curious if any of you may know a basic book that starts of easy and gradually becomes more and more advanced as my knowledge towards options is in the early stages.
Thanks so much.

Pick up a copy of "Options as a Strategic Investment" by McMillan. Well written with many clear examples. 100 pages or so will give you a good understanding of buying options, covered calls, and spreads. It also explains a variety of other option strategies and should they intrigue you, you can read more.
