which book to start with...?

hi group!

just dl'ed Dr. Paul Carter's tutorial (http://drpaulcarter.com/pcasm/) and also PGU from (http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pgubook/). i also borrowed "Assembly langauge step-by-step" by Jeff Dunteman from library. so which one does the group experts reccomend to start with? my os is linux and i dont have windows. is it necessary to start with dos as many books say? then i'll have to use DosEmu+FreeDOS. is that okay? or can i go with linux? will i miss something important if i dont start in dos? also which is reccomanded..nasm or gas?

thanks a lot for all answers.
