I'd offer the following books: The Linux Pocket Guide (good quick reference) A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux (covers everything from desktop to server admin in Ubuntu) The Linux Bible (Very large reference book which is quite good in that it usually is version agnostic or in other words it helps you work in different environments more easily)
That is the ones I've personally read quite a bit so I recommend them in particular. Like any technical manual or guide be sure to get the most recent books because Linux has a habit of changing quite a bit in only a few years. The Linux Bible and The Linux Pocket Guide are very good for command line references. A practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux is how I learned how to use Ubuntu before I started using Forums so at least I knew some things before I started spamming out questions.
