I became interested in the markets around my sophomore year of college as well and have since spent a vast amount of time in self-study and reading about trading and the markets as a whole. If you are like me, you probably have an idea of what "stock trading" is to you. Let me promise you, your idea is probably vastly different than reality in the markets. Please, please take the advice below. I can't stress enough how important these resources were and still are for me.
Long-term investing/wealth building:
Read everything put out by Stansberry Research (I am not affiliated with them in any way)
A.) http://stansberryresearch.com/book/the-stansberry-research-guide-to-investment-basics/
B.) http://stansberryresearch.com/book/the-stansberry-research-starters-guide-for-new-investors/
-- After reading the two books above, pick up the books recommended in the back of the "Stansberry Research Starter's Guide for New Investors"
C.) Stansberry Radio also produces a fantastic educational podcast. Definitely worth a $10/month subscription. The quality of guests and interview segments are second to none.
Shorter-term trading:
Check out Investor's Business Daily (IBD) at www.investors.com
A.) How to Make Money in Stocks: http://www.amazon.com/Money-Stocks-Complete-Investing-System/dp/0071752110
-- This book probably taught me more about the stock market than any other
B.) Trend Following: http://www.amazon.com/Trend-Following-Updated-Millions-Markets/dp/013702018X
-- The book that started it all for me. The author also runs a fantastic podcast (Trend Following with Michael Covel). This educational value of this podcast is indescribable.
At a time when the stock market continues to break all-time highs, please be careful when trading/investing. Control your risk FIRST (http://www.vantharp.com/tharp-concepts/position-sizing.asp)
Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions. I love to talk trading!
I'm new as well, but I'm lucky enough to have an experienced, successful trader helping me along the way. If you're first starting out I'd begin by reading two great books that have really opened my eyes a lot
Both written by successful traders known in the field. Jesse Livermore's book was written in the 40s and is still very applicable today (and it's interesting to read about the big players back then like railroads and steel).
Edit: Also, Chart School and http://www.freestockcharts.com/platform/v1 have been essential tools in my education. If you get anything on investopedia, make sure you can verify the information as I've caught a few articles with erroneous information.
A high p/e doesn't always mean a bad pick. And we discussed earlier in the topic how this would be a good pick, "If you aren't looking to "beat the market" or make quick returns"
Ultimately it depends on the individual investor as to why they buy the stocks they buy. I personally am not looking for insane growth, but a solid long term dividend paying stock with the potential for solid growth.
For anyone looking for more info on dividends, The Ultimate Dividend Playbook is a decent resource, I would recommend seeing if you're local library has a copy or if you can buy a cheap one used. I only say that because ultimately it has some good information but a lot of repeat info.
When BUYING puts/calls, depending on your strategy, it is always a good idea to give yourself TIME to be correct. A good book, Options Made Easy, recommends at least 180 days for buying an option contract.
If you do the calculations, options are actually cheaper (per time) in the long run than short run. 11 days does not allow enough time for you to be right!
TLDR; read Options Made Easy by Guy Cohen
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0131871358
I would highly recommend getting thinkorswim by TD ameritrade. You can get the paper-money version for practice and its free (I don’t think you need to open an account with them either). It is great for technical analysis of stocks, maintaining watchlists, tracking your stocks, comparing your stocks, setting up alerts, etc. However, there is a bit of a learning curve. If you do decide to go deeper into techinical analysis, keep this in mind: evolutionary we are wired to see “patterns” in the world. In the stock market, thinking that you see a pattern can be very dangerous. Invest wisely.

Tacky name but a great beginner book to get your feet wet into stocks.
After reading that, then read "Intelligent Investor".
I use TA as one engagement tool among many. One book I enjoyed was The Joy of Charting by Tim Knight. I've been a reader of Tim's blog SlopeofHope for nearly ten years. I don't follow him or any other single person exclusively but his methods have helped me develop some profitable trades.
Short CAKE and long QD are two profitable positions I have on now that I first found out about on Slope.
Disclosure: No association with the blog other than being a reader/subscriber.
The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing is probably the best beginners book that covers most things. I don't think it is too deep on technical analysis (and I never really read that section). I might check out the Visual Investor as mentioned by VictoryGinAndJuice.
Stocks in the long run
There is a lot of really interesting data in this book, and it covers everything
