Any good books about linux?

I'm newbie in linux, does anyone have any suggestions about what book should I read, especially how to work with the console (browsing, create new file, network administration, etc).

English edition is works fine with me.

I love this book, so I'll recommend it until I run out of breath:

How Linux Really Works published by NoStarchPress - and available at any large retailer.......

Another good book is O'Reilly's "Running Linux" (I believe that the 4th edition is the most current). Highly recommended.

Linux was made by foreign terrorists to steal money from true AMERICAN companies like Microsoft who invented computing as we know it, and are being punished for their success.

There's some good books here : http://www.mamiyami.com/document/oreilly/ .
Both the Unix and Linux book sets should be useful.
See also here: http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/
Last but not least, for HOWTOs: www.tldp.org (aka The Linux Doc Project)
Happy reading

ok how about some books where they get to the point? 50 chapters of back story is just too boring!

There is also a book from OpenNA Securing and optimizing linux: The ultimate solution wich is downloadable. But if you want the latest one you need to get Securing and Optimizing Linux: The hacking solution which you can get at a book store or on the site.

I used this book and learned a lot i suggest you use get it.
