Reddit reviews Smashing UX Design: Foundations for Designing Online User Experiences

I recommend reading this book like it's the Bible. It has everything you need, and it's very up to date. It's not the usual fluff/philosophy, but real, step by step practical advice and real world examples. I found it invaluable.

  Edit: The Non Designers Handbook (This is a great book if you're just starting out / -- it's a bit dated but it teaches the core concepts very well)

Yeah man. It sounds like you're well on your way to getting to learn the ropes.

A great book is http://www.amazon.com/Smashing-Design-Foundations-Designing-Experiences/dp/0470666854 (found on google play for less than half the price).

It's from the makers of http://uxdesign.smashingmagazine.com/ which is also a great site to keep up to date with things.
