    "Starting Strength" - Mark Rippletoe
    "5/3/1" (2nd edition) - Jim Wendler

    It depends on how new you are at lifting. If you're brand new definitely checkout Mark's book first. Once you get to a more intermediate level you can move into 5/3/1 or even go to Joe DeFranco's site and read his "Westside for Skinny *kitten* 3" article.

    I like Strength Training Anatomy.
    As others said Starting Strength is good also.
