[Mono-list] Beginner C# Book

[Tom McLaughlin]

Thanks to everyone who responded, I got a lot of great suggestions.  I
ended up grabbing "Learning C#" from O'Reilly.  It's starting me off
with the basics and it's not overly long so I can decide what direction
I want to go once I'm done with it.  Thanks a bunch.
