>I really liked "Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming" by Jeffrey Richter. It doesn't cover absolutely every topic, but it covers a lot of fundamentals that you really do need to understand (and does it in a way that is understandable). For example, I didn't really "get" delegates until I read this book. This book covers more of the foundation of the language than a lot of other books.

I agree. To me it seems like a better approach to use a resource like LearnVisualStudio.NET to get rolling, and then address more advanced topics when you get to them.
