Meditation For Beginners

Meditation books, I need a beginner's guide, and some advice......?
what problems can I encounter in my journey? Is there a place better than another? What should I expect? Any advice is welcome.
Also share what it has done for you.
My personal favorite is Thomas a' Kempis' "Imitation of Christ" - best if you can read it in Latin - but good anyway -
Many others out there-- I find it the rarest of books in that it remains fresh and always renews -
C.S. Lewis enjoyed a sense of well-being and the presence of goodness after reading the christian fantasies by the author of Lilith (name slips my mind at the moment - overwhelmed by the number of Q's in my email)
