Investing in "individual" stocks takes a lot of knowledge and practice; so I would not suggest doing this until you understand completely how the stock markets work.
Vanguard.com is ideal for long term investors who want to learn about mutual funds, index funds, and exchange-traded-funds (ETFs). Trading funds is less risky than trying to trade "individual" stocks.
Unless you plan on spending everyday of your life looking at stock charts trying to determine the best time to get in and out of "individual" stocks, I would look into some sort of fund.
Also be very careful about asking for stock tips online. Most are probably worthless or contain unethical motives. Do not fall for any Pump-and-Dump scams.
As far as books go, I actually started out with the Investing for Dummies books, and they definitely pushed me in the right direction. To many other books have their own agendas in my opinion.
The websites below all contain plenty of FREE information to get you started in the right direction.
Also understand that when you move from paper trading to real trading your emotions may cause you to do stupid things when real money is involved. You will never make the right picks 100% of the time; so you have to know when to cut your losses and simply move on. So make sure you learn how to use stop-loss orders and trailing stops.

Stock markets are way too complicated for a beginner, because if it were easy to figure out, we all would have money.
