Quite a few of those books are quite old (relatively speaking) stretching back to 2011 through 2013 so likely a lot of the contents will be quite out of date.

I have one of those listed (Learning Node.js) and it was definitely a good read at the time when I started with Node. A quick check shows it focuses on Express 3.x

I would recommend anyone really new to Node to also focus on Javascript itself and for that I highly recommend the excellent You Don't Know JS series by Kyle Simpson. And if JS is really new to you perhaps a primer text such as Javascript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford (although I risk being a hypocrite since that came out way back in 2008 but Node has moved at a much greater pace)

I'm more of a video / code-along learner so haven't used a lot of books. Fortunately my favorite talk on JS is both a video and a book:

JavaScript: The Good Parts, Douglas Crockford. Video | Book | Follow-Up Video (the Better Parts)

I also really like the course JavaScript 30 by Wes Bos (it's free!).
