I strongly suggest you focus your attention on the mental game. I don't know where you are in your development, but Trading in the Zone and Brett Steenbarger's latest book are a must. Once you have that figured out, ANY methodology or approach to trading can work.

Rich dad; poor dad is not really applicable to what you need here. It is a nice read and inspirational, but I would be very selective about what I fill my mind with since you will need to absorb a lot to get going with trading.
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is amazing and I highly recommend it. A very fun read. You can get the online version here: http://www.mypivots.com/articles/booktext.aspx?bookname=Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

The only two we recommend are the above, and "Data Driven Investing." www.datadrivenpublishing.com/ Which is my brother's favorite these last couple of years. The Art of the Arb is a good primer on Pairs trading. This is pretty specialized, however (and written by a Bright Trader, so this is the disclosure statement). www.pairtrader.com Don
