cURRENCY TRADING FOR DUMMIES is a great book to start. Although it doesn't talk too much about strategies etc it gives you a huge idea of how the market works and what mechanics push the market here and there.
I have started my FOREX "education" with Essentials of Foreigh Exchange Trading by James Chen.
This is the best out of five books I have bought and I find it excellent for the first steps in the FOREX world! Highly recommended.
The best book you can read in my opinion is " Mastering foreign exchange and currency options 2nd edition". If you are new to this game this book can be difficult to understand. If you have been around and you think you have seen it all it is certainly recommended to give it a chance. One sidenote this book can be very helpfull when your trading s&r and want to trade like the big dogs do.
