Greer is a fabulous book to get if you want to learn reading the cards. Greer's Tarot Blog is a very interesting and informative source for all things Tarot. And - last but not least - in my personal opinion, a fantastic way to learn how to read tarot well, is The Process, an Audio Book by Dan Pelletier, co-owner of Tarotgarden and well known Tarot Reader.
With The Process, you'll learn how to read the cards, and how to place the wisdom in your life. Voiced in first person, you become Dans apprentice as you listen to The Process. Beginners and experienced readers alike will find fertile material for contemplation and experimentation for their own unique path of the way of the Tarot Reader. Even long time readers swear by "The Process".
The basic idea is to not only rely on books and traditional tarot interpretations, but to use your intuition and develop your own reading "style". He has many interesting and mostly non-traditional thoughts on reading tarot. I have personally done this course about 4 times.

One of those Tarot "Myths". If a deck is meant to be yours, you will find it with a little bit of patience and also a little bit of luck, of course. And sometimes, a deck will find YOU. When choosing a deck, the images should be the deciding factor. A deck should "speak" to you, the imagery should appeal.
Surely enough, at first glance to the novice, a Rider Waite might look rather boring, but it's full of surprises. Trust me on that one.
