I have an unorthodox recommendation. Most people here like Silman's endgame book, but I preferred Pandolfini's endgame book to start. The book does have some typos, but they are pretty easy to figure out. I went through the entire book to get a feel for the different themes and strategies, then I moved on to Nunn's Understanding Chess Endgames. What I like about the Nunn book is that each lesson builds on the prior lessons.
This may sound weird, but I have a correspondence game going on now where I was up a rook against a knight and I had 3 passed pawns. I haven't gotten to the Knight endgames lessons in the Nunn book, and I'm more comfortable with the pawn endgames so I just exchanged my rook for his knight because I know how to win the pawn endgame.
