I got started with my current language of choice from a book I bought almost randomly at a book fair. This book is a reference of the language but is written in such a clear and precise language, showing a deep love for the language and great craftsmanship. Like you would certainly fall in love with the heroin of a novel you love, I fell in love with... python. The book was Python in a Nutshell, by Alex Martelli.
