I read Getting Started with Dwarf Fortress[1] to understand the game. DF is not intuitive at all and this book helped me wrap my head around DF.

I recommend this O'Reilly book http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920022565.do

Awesome reading even if you don't like video games or Dwarf Fortress at all.

Looks good so far, although I'm not more than a chapter into it yet.
