another vote for the Chris Pine, probably in online form but you might
prefer a physical book. The Poignant Guide has got some _great_
content, but a lot of people find it either a) heavy-going or b) a bit
annoying. It's definitely a love-it/hate-it thing.

Either would be good, starter-level, non-intimidating ways to begin, though.
