Good Linux Books for Beginners

Actually, I found that having both a Windows computer and a Linux
computer available made it a LOT easier to transition to Linux.  The
first several dozen times I tried to make the switch, I did just that
- resist the urge.  But after spending sometimes days trying to figure
out how to do in Linux what I could do in Windows in five minutes, I
got very discouraged with it, and eventually abandoned Linux.

The last time around, I made the transition slow, and I'm still using
Windows for some stuff (I really don't see the need to force World of
Warcraft onto a Linux box for instance), but now I could switch to
Linux 100% tomorrow if need be.
