Which eBooks are essential for an intermediate Linux user to become an expert like FossFreedom, Jokerdino, Jorge Castro or the others guys with thousands of reputations...?

(By an Intermediate user I mean somebody who knows an essential amount of terminal commands, and who use Linux full time with no problem.)

A lot of freely available books are recommended in these two questions: askubuntu.com/questions/168142 and askubuntu.com/questions/165677 – Mik Oct 21 '12 at 11:16
You don't want to become an overlord like me, izx and Oli? :'( I am sad. You eated my cookie! – RolandiXor♦ Oct 21 '12 at 14:06
Thanks Mik! Roland, I don't have a continuous Internet connection all the time. There is no other way to properly learn Linux for me... – Naveen Oct 21 '12 at 14:46
Goto the nearest library(or college library), you will get a bundle of linux books from there – Tachyons Oct 21 '12 at 14:50

Actually, I don't believe that you'll learn more from books than you will from solving problems to questions here and on other forums like ubuntu.org. Get stuck in and put some skull sweat into it, and you will be surprised how much you will learn and how quickly. Google and other search tools are your friends, as well as being willing to experiment with your own system.

Get some books by all means, but they are references and primers, not the only thing you need.

While we're looking at books though, The first few on this page look like they might be worth a look. There's the IBM pdf bash primer available here which I've used in the past, and here's a bash scripting primer which I haven't come across before.

Googling keywords such as "bash primer" should show up many more hits.
