Hi. I've been trading stocks for 8+ years and recently have become
interested in options. Does anyone have any books they would recommend
for a novice in options to read?

The optionetics site has a forum with a Books topic. Lots of posts.
A beginner book will not give you enough background to avoid the many
pitfalls of options but okay for as a first step.

No I am not recommending optionetics ... they won't give you enough
either but will set you backwards a bundle.

other floor market makers read when we were training is by Natenberg:

I agree. Natenberg starts with assuming the definitions and
principles of options known. But after a decent primer it should
be the 2nd or 3rd book to read. Better to soon than to late.This
is mandatory stuff.
