Need some general direction

I am very attracted to high tech venture capital and noticed that many guys were previous investment bankers prior to making the move. The only thing I know about investment banking is bringing together deals. Other than that, I am clueless. My question is, "what books are "good" reads to learn more about the industry and position?"

I know this is a bonehead question when i'm sitting infront of a computer connected to the internet but I like to take on recommendations first to get started and I'll find my way through from there.
