I read a lot books on algorithmic trading (and also trading in general) and always search for new books that can teach me something. So I thought it might be of interest for others too and thought to start a thread where we can present books we read and found useful.
I think we should always include at least title, author, a link to amazon where one can buy the book and maybe 1-2 sentences about why you recommend the book.
I will make the beginning:
Building Winning Algorithmic Trading Systems from Kevin Davey
https://www.amazon.com/Building-Winning-Algorithmic-Trading-Systems/dp/1118778987
This book describes the authors way to strategy development. He has a pretty mechanical approach to avoid
curve fitting which I found very useful. It also explains monte carlo simulations and gives one really a roadmap to follow for strategy development.

Evaluation and Optimization of Trading Strategies from Robert Pardo
https://www.amazon.com/Evaluation-Optimization-Trading-Strategies/dp/0470128011
Pardo was one of the first who published and explained walk forward analysis thoroughly.
