As it turns out, books can be pretty expensive. Especially the books for graphics and games. And I've already got suspicions that those books aren't very great (specifically the ones that claim to teach you how to make your own first person shooters).
For C++, books are good (Thinking in C++ is free online).
For games, there's GameDev.net, but PLEASE don't tell anybody you want to make an MMORPG.

Learn C++ properly, then consider working on specific libraries like OpenGL and DirectX stuff.

There's a lot to learn, and even with relatively simple console I/O it'll be hard enough. No need to make it harder by doing all kinds of messy graphics stuff right away.
