I'm looking for advice on a good book of openings. Something general, not very in depth about any particular sequence.

I've played a long time, but never really studied. So I don't think I'm a chess novice, but I'd prefer something that's easy to read.

Thanks all.

Seirawan's opening book + wikipedia was great for me until I broke CFC1900+.
