Traders, Guns and Money by Satyajit Das (sp?).  This is the more entertaining option.  He also wrote a derivatives textbook I skimmed once but it may be a bit overboard considering your needs.

The cheaper option (no pun intended) is probably to read wikipedia and investopedia.

 

check your school's library for a copy of Hull. its the clearest explanation of greeks i've seen and there are examples to practice with at the end of the chapter.
