I think first of all I'd like to know why you want to learn meditation, are you expecting something. Although, I myself don't believe in getting lost in books and concepts, however at some stage you may find it motivating or helpful to read a bit of what others who have been down this path have to say.
I've been in this for a decade and here are some helpful works that are easily available online and free. YMMV. In no particular order, works of Nisargadatta Maharaj (esp I am That), Michael Langford (awareness watching awareness), books on mindfulness (already linked below). A very approachable book has been Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.
I follow self-enquiry (Sri Ramana Maharshi) but sadly that is 'lost in translation' and wrongly/poorly explained everywhere. I find Langford's online book to be very motivating although my technique varies from his.
