This by Edward Lasker, a little basic instruction with some insight into the world of pro players:

An introduction to the moves of the pieces, a short look at various aspects of the game, a simple introduction to the possibilities ways to enjoy chess. It's a friend introducing you to chess, not an instructor beating it into your head. The second half reveals the inner secrets of chess for blood, as the professionals play it. It's presented in the same humorous, gentle tone which permeates the rest of the book, but the sense of fierce competition at this level comes though.

Anything by Silman is good. Garry Kasparov has written some books as well that sound like something you would be interested in

I only play 1. e4 as white
I switch it up some but my strongest and most familiar lines all come from 1. e4. I like the different transpositions to the delayed King's Gambit that deliver close to the initiative of the pure KG but avoid the teeth of the Falkbeer.

If you like chess you should check out judo chess. It is a fast paced game to where you can move all your chess pieces at once. You can also play regular speeds and slower speeds. I really enjoy it. It used to be called kung fu chess back in the day when it was on shizmoo. A few variations of it came and the community is slowly growing, but if you can find some games, it's a blast!

EDIT: It can get frustrating because most of the players that play now are veterans and have been playing for years, but if a group of you newer players start and keep playing, you will also get better. Don't get frustrated, remember, a lot of veterans on there.
