Forums are very helpful. I'd put them before any books.
It may sound dumb, but try the Investment for Dummies book. It's simple and doesn't go too far in depth but covers a wide range of subjects. At a minimum it'll help you get used to the lingo so you won't be confused by other books or forum posts.

"The Truth About Money" by Ric Edelman - I think this is the best introduction to finance I have read so far.
"The Millionaire Next Door" by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko - This book looks at the spending habits of many self made millionaires, Makes alot of sense.
I would start with those two. Both are more personal finance than investing. This helps determine how to maximize the amount you can invest.
"Rich Dad Poor Dad" - I agree with jwhite622 on this one, although I don't agree with his investment philosphy completely.
The Peter Lynch books are also good. I would start with "Beating the Street" by Peter Lynch and John Rothchild
