Re: NL Cash Games
I tend to agree that limit is a better place for a beginner, but if you really want to play NL then stick to the very small buy-in games.
I really wouldn't jump right into HOH1 & HOH2 - especially for cash games. Those books are very tournament specific.
For starters, pick up Ed Miller's Getting Started In Hold'em and follow the NL advice there. Play ABC poker as instructed and see if you can get a feel for the game. The word is that Miller & Sklansky are coming out with a NL book, so that will probably be fundamental reading as well.
Additionally, read Bob Ciaffone & Stewart Ruben's Pot Limit and No Limit Poker. This is, at present, the definitive book on big bet poker. It's not easy going, but the sections you need to concentrate on are relatively small.
Good luck,
