There is also "Stick and Rudder" by Wolfgang Langewiesche. While it is orientated to the full sized fixed wing pilot, it is a very easy read.

Warning: I got so enraptured by this book I finally went back to school, got my degree, and became a professional pilot. (I land a lot better now than when I was learning to fly Patches, my old Gentle Lady.)
