Skeet's book is great but most definitely not for beginners. Troelsen
used to be the normal suggestion back in the C# 1.0 days, but later
editions of his book have evolved into something a bit more dense.
Jesse Liberty's books are easier to read and cover the territory well.
A prior edition should be available dirt cheap on Amazon Marketplace
or Half.com, and will cover all of the stuff needed to get started.
Then after a couple years, Troelsen and Skeet.

I already mentioned the Jesse Liberty book. Here's a link to Amazon
Marketplace for the 2nd edition, which should be very good for
learning. In fact, sometimes the earlier editions are less confusing,
cause the compiler was simpler. This is for the 2005 edition, which
has all the main features.

I'd recommend looking for "Very Good" condition to avoid books with
highlighting. The one from Auriga is only 1.75 + 4.00 shipping.

Also, I do think C# is the language to learn. Not to sound like a
snob, but I'm not sure why anyone bothers with VB these days.
