I've got several, mostly from book clubs.  I like the "Complete Reference"  
books as well as the "Platinum Edition" series with all different computer  
related subjects.

One book that I consider indispensible, though not a "reading" book per  
se, is "Linus Command Instant Reference".  It's written by Bryan  
Pfaffenberger, who knows how to explain things without "talking down".   
It's published by Sybex.

I used this book just the other night to help me salvage my mail and a few  
documents when my FC2 install crashed and burned.  (Haven't had time to  
resurrect it yet so, yes I'm using winders to write this; so shoot me)

Anyway, hope the recommendations help.
