I need to know i want something to read as well as reference later on when i know more in this language.
Just starting out so i want an all around good book to learn from.
Honestly, you can pick up a very, very strong understanding of HTML5 just from using Google tutorials. A lot of it is able to be found at http://www.w3schools.com/ but take everything from there with a grain of salt. Some of it is not completely reliable, but that is why you should look up tutorials as well. There are so^10 many resources for learning this stuff online.
Yeah I was using tuts+ but the show and do just doesn't feel like learning
This helped me a lot:

Also try codeacademy.com It's very helpful too.
