This is a good beginning book on networks/complexity that people here might enjoy: Weak Links: The Universal Key to the Stability of Networks and Complex Systems by Peter Csermely
Good read, great bibliography, broad scope. A pdf of this book can be found at the usual places (pm me if it isn't clear what that means).
This might even be a good first book for a reading group if there aren't enough people who want to tackle a more academic text. Each section would provide many opportunities for bringing in papers referenced in the bib for deeper discussion while still letting those of us less familiar with the concepts follow along and understand the main ideas.
It sounds like you might have a leg up on the "absolute beginner," but these were the books that helped me get my head around some of the basics: (using Amazon preview links for samples of the first two)

I second looking into the Santa Fe Institute and their free online courses.
Both of these works are great introductions that afford various ways to read and engage with the material relative to your background knowledge. Also, look into the Santa Fe Institute and their publications.
