I've been into photography for almost two years now, but I've only read or learned anything about it recently.
I've got a basic grip on exposures, f-stops, shutter speed, etc. etc. but I still want to know more.
Can you suggest any books for me at the level I'm currently at? Anything that might come to mind as "essential".

antoni m is right - take a photography course at your local high school or community college. Another option is to take the New York Institute of Photography correspondence course (nyip.com). They have been in business since 1910 so they must be doing something right.
You might find the book 'Object & Image: An Introduction To Photography, Third Edition' by George M. Craven useful. It should be available somewhere on the internet.

if you really want to learn do what has been found to be the most effective way for humans to learn - structured learning from teachers in schools........so a night course will do more for you than any book
having seen your pix i dont think you have a handle on exposure.......Uncle Ansells books will serve you well, but school is always the best and fastest way to learn

If you like playing w/ images in Photoshop, I've found Scott Kelby's books to be cool additions to my library! Clients are always amazed at how quickly I can create cool features to their photos.

"Understanding Exposure" it's at my favorite booksite. The public library.
