I also like the Linux+ 2005 book in depth. I started using the Sybex book and some of the reading was non-productive for me. Then I saw a co-worker was using the In Depth book and it seemed to be written better. I finished my cert with the In Depth book.

The pocket book is very good. Has nice overview of Linux without all the guts.
Find a desktop Linux distro and give it a spin try.
Check the link under favorite linux distro and see what looks good to you.
Ubuntu, Centos are popular. Many others also. I use SUSE Linux, or SLED 10/11.
I'm currently working with Ubuntu on a VM and plan to install SuSE on my small HD and dual boot. Found a good book on transitioning from windows to Linux on books 24x7 but it deals more with the applications and how to use them. Less to do with what an admin or tech would need to know.
Moving from Windows to Linux, Second Editionby Chuck Easttom and Bryan Hoff Cengage Charles River Media © 2004 (600 pages) CitationISBN:9781584504429 With real-world, hands-on examples and troubleshooting problems, this book is a step-by-step walk through the transition from Windows to Linux and will help Windows users to set up, maintain, and utilize all aspects of a Linux PC.
I'm hoping this one will be avaible on 24x7 when it comes out so I'm not preordering it yet.
