about C++ books

Recently, I want to buy a new book of C++ for improving my C++
knowledges.
I have been read <<The C++ Programming Language>and <<C++ Primer>>
but both of are unfinished because they are too large.
Can somebody recommend me some good books about C++ which don't too
large and easy too read?
I heared that <<effective C++>is not bad, what you think about?

I would suggest :
"Ansi/Iso C++ Professional Programmer's Handbook" by Danny Kalev

I recommend Effective C++ and More Effective C++.

Scott Meyer's books are great once you know the basics. They extend
beginner/intermediate knowledge further. His Effective C++ and
Effective STL are very good. His More Effective C++ is less so
because (unlike Effective C++) is hasn't been updated.

Also, Herb Sutter's books Exceptional C++ series are very good for
intermediate to advanced programmers. In fact, the whole "red book"
series is very good.

Also, check out the ACCU website.

Yes, Meyers' books are very good. Also, get the C++ FAQs book by
Cline, Lomow, and Girou. Very easy to read.

You should probably also consult the online FAQs, since they're
continually maintained, while the book is dated 1999.

See http://parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/faq-book.html for details on the
difference between the online FAQs and the book.

I'm puzzled at the total lack of shame you seem to have with that.
