Umm, I've never read much on options so can't be off much help with literature. I just paper traded them for about 6 months until I felt comfortable. I only use options to play short term TA moves without laying out the full price of the underlying stock. The one exception here is T Jan. 2000 calls. Since I'm typically out of sync with the market (by 12 hours) I use in-the-money positions with at least two months to expiration. Since my timing is known to be generally early this gives me time to recover ;-). I don't fool with options calculators or other involved methods of evaluation. There is a fairly good tutorial on the CBOE web site, I think. Good Luck
