1. How To Brew, 4e by John Palmer
Read chapter one to get started with extract+steep brewing; read chapters 2 - 8 while the first batch is fermenting.

How to Brew. That's really all you need to get started. I also think it's comforting to have a book of successful recipes, so I'd also recommend Brewing Classic Styles.
How to Brew, 4th ed., without a doubt.
You don't need anything else right now. Well, HomeBrewTalk...
This is probably the smartest question I've ever seen from an aspiring or beginning homebrewer!
Welcome to the club and what may become your largest obsession.

I agree with How To Brew and Brewing Classic Styles. That way you don't get buried in too much info before you really have a grasp on what you process will entail. Once you get your process down and get a few batches under your belt, you can move on to more specific titles like New Brewing Lager Beer or the Brewing Elements series that cover malt, yeast, hops and water, each with its own dedicated book.
I'll also recommend the Classic Beer Styles Series from Brewer's Publications. Reading the book on, say, Pale Ale, will give you a good idea of what you're shooting for and how to get there.

Thanks for the comment! I just want to abosorb good information before I start to brew. Thanks for your input.
Awesome thanks! I look forward to reading the brewing elements series as my first few brews go through fermentation.
Wonderful thanks for your input I really appreciate it.
Thanks for the thorough list. Appreciate this!

I'll offer "Mastering Homebrew" and "Radical Brewing" (Randy Mosher) as a "right side of the brain" approach to learning more about ingredients. It's a nice counter balance to the Brewing Elements series approach (more "left side of the brain", science-y, analyze the parts in details to understand the whole).
Ok cool thanks for that input
