Wanna read some books:

also, the tiltboys book was by far and away the very best poker book I've ever cracked for entertainment.

I think Little Green Book is a great book for beginners to read. I would actually recommend reading this book first. Then HoH for MTT and Moshman for SnG. After those I think understanding the concepts in Poker Mindset and Ace on the River is essential for longevity sake.
