Can anyone be a trader?
This book teaches the lesson that anyone can learn to be trader by following the right rules and being disciplined. The best part about this method is that one doesn't have to watch MSNBC or Bloomberg TV in order to be a successful trader because one can always use price as a guide.

A really good account of a classic trading experiment
This book details the bet that trader Richard Dennis had with his partner on whether trading could be taught or not (similar to the movie 'Trading Places').
