I don't know why don't you look around before opening the same topic for the bazillionth time.There's one just bellow yours where we discussed game programming.

Game programming is a HUGE notion so you can't ask people to suggest you books if you don't know what you want to do, nor which programming language you're going to program in.Discuss some topics with yourself and read the topic "Game programming" and if you have a question related to general game programming ask it there, don't open another topic for the same problem because it'll likely be considered as a SPAM.
If you're afraid for your posting credits then I'll tell you (99% sure) it's the same as if you'd post a message there or if you'd open a new topic.

If this topic, for some reason, stays alive, edit your message and be more specific and I'll reply again.

There is "C++ Guide for Beginners" by Herbert Schildt. You can download it off Microsoft.

Try  Game programming in 24 hours its definitly a very nice book written by Michael Morrison. You need a little knowledge about C++ though but it will be totally worth it, good luck!

I have a book called "C How to Program Third Edition by Deitel", I highly recommend it.

The best book for game programming I believe is 'Game Coding Complete' by Mike McShaffry. Yes, it is old, from 2003, but it's still good enough. The matter is, you can't become a game programmer by a night. You really need to put an effort to become an advanced game programmer, and to get a job into a huge game developing company. Though, 'Tricks of the Windows game programming Gurus' by Andre LaMothe is good too, but it's too old.
