It's not so important what book you read. I read Lee Jones too and it helped me enough. Just get the basics in your head, and understand why these basics apply.
Now start playing lots of hands, until you get the feel for the game.
Read the boards, reply to posts about specific hands...
If they don't call you an idiot you are probably doing alright.
If you are mathematically skilled I recommend Theory of Poker. But I'd wait until you have played like 50K hands, since it would probably confuse you now.
