i also recommend witchvox, though it is a HUGE site and can be pretty intimidating to navigate, IMO.
my book recommendations, in no particular order, and based on several things, including my particular likes, and also simplicity of reading, and generality:
***Circle Round: raising kids in the goddess traditions... or some such....is the tag line, by Starhawk, Anne Hill, and....oh heck...Diane Baker? it's a kid's book but awesome for all.
***Book Of Shadows by Phyllis Curott. it's an autobiography of how a high-profile New York City attorney "came out" of the "broom closet" and her story of how she came to Wicca. an *excellent* read, and if you have/had anything to do with 12-step recovery, it reads remarkably like a recovery story.
***anything by Scott Cunningham
***Raymond Buckland's "Blue Book"-- i think it's actually called "Book of Witchcraft"-- the first few chapters include "history" (i say that in quotes because it's been disputed as "real", but i think most of it is valid)
for newbies, i think i would veer away from "recipe books" (how-to books on doing spells and creating rituals) at first, and read up on history and beliefs and what/why the holidays are, first.
HTH,
