I would also suggest:
An Introduction to Analysis of Financial Data with R by Tsay
Analysis of Financial Time Series, again by Tsay
Algorithmic Trading and DMA by Johnson
Empirical Market Microstructure by Hasbrouck
Sure no problem. I went thought the first few chapters in this book by Tsay:
 
https://www.amazon.com/Analysis-Financial-Time-Ruey-Tsay/dp/0470414359
 
Then I downloaded free finance data online where I could find it and also from this site called Quandl:
 
https://www.quandl.com/
 
I then loaded the data into a database and wrote a small application (using python, R, and java) to pull the time series data from the database and implement the calculations that I understood in that book.
 
I talked about this project in my cover letter for any job I applied to. It was definitely helpful in job interviews to be able to discuss what I had done. I also learned a lot because when I started I didn't have very much experience with programming so it was definitely a good learning experience.
If you want help getting started, let me know what questions you have and i'll send you some notes.
 
Edit: The book below (by Makridakis/Hyndman) is much simpler book and is a better introduction to time series than the book in the first link above. I read this first got a basic understanding of time series and forecasting. After getting through a few chapters in Hyndman, the Tsay book is much easier to understand. But in either case building small application that implement these methods in either of these books is a great exercise.

If you are interested in financial applications, this book is great: http://www.amazon.com/Analysis-Financial-Wiley-Probability-Statistics/dp/0470414359/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1345211947&sr=1-1&keywords=financial+time+series
I found this book and going by it, they say it is a classic and a good thing is that it does not start from the Gaussian distribution of returns assumption. I hope it helps you.
