New to SQL -- Any good reads?

With my recent employment at my internship, I've been given the task to start
learning as much about SQL servers and querying(sp?) as possible.
I was wondering if there is anybody out there knows of some good
articles/books that would send me on my way?
I'm not looking for "super" basic stuff but as I've been exposed to
databases in the past but would like to get into more deeper topics. I guess
something along the lines of not a novice but no where near being able to
administer a DB myself.
Thanks,
Ben
Some good ones.

almost all facets in depth enough to make it invaluable.
