Knitting knowledge
This is a call for help from my knitting knowledgeable friends: I need to learn more about knitting, but there are a lot of books out there. Which ones do you recommend? Which ones should I buy, and which should I only check out from the library? I want to be able to knit more than scarves, but probably have a long way to go before socks or sweaters. Leave me a comment, or recommend something through GoodReads.

to purchase: Knitting without Tears and Knitter's Almanac, both by Elizabeth Zimmerman. Also buy Knitter's Handbook by Montse Stanley. to check out: Alice Starmore books for inspiration, and Stitch n Bitch because it's fun.
My advice is to go to the library/bookstore & browse. Then buy the books you liked. I'm not really into the knitting books, just because they rarely have more than one or two patterns I am interested in. (And even then, I rarely knit from patterns.) I am fond of the internet Knitty.com is a good place to start...
