There are no chart reading books here, the first investing book I ever owned was a chart reading guild, I thought investing was to compare patterns with patterns, and then I read a few more those kind of trading books. Slowly I realized that chart doesn't make sense, at lease to me, theoretically I could remember all patterns within 2 hours. Then I moved to these real investing books.

Investing is half science and half art, we still have a lot to learn.
