Have you read the Selfish Gene? That would be a good starting place in my opinion.

While it is a nice, easy to read book, it is not really a textbook about genetics (or a textbook at all, for that matter). "Genes" (Lewin), was a nice book, IIRC.

I proposed it as a starting point. Anyway, I don't think diving head first alone into a textbook is that easy actually.

Just curious but have you tried googling? I think seeing the stuff out there helps to see what exactly you want to focus on as well as reading about actual genetics. What I mean you might find a popular science book on amazon which is on a topic you would like to lean even more about.

I suggest read Dawkins, read Wikipedia, get a feel for the area and then invest in a textbook, which are costly and heavy, so you know you are making the right decision.

In terms of online refrence, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=omim is rediculously good.
