Playing passive

I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on what chess books might help me improve my game. I play very passively and at times, I am sitting at the board wondering what to do. It happens in every game for me, so I always end up making a waiting move of some sorts. When I win, it was because of an opponents blunder and not of my play.

Any help will  be greatly appreciated!!

You sound like you know the rules but are fairly new to playing, or at least to playing seriously.  Here are some suggestions:

Chess Strategy by Edward Lasker.  It's almost 100 years old now.  It begins with how the pieces move but quickly moves into ideas behind openings, middlegame principles,and endgames.  An excellent book.

How Not to Play Chess by Eugene A. Znosko-Borovsky.  A short and easy to read book that will help you start thinking in terms of how to formulate a plan for your game.

The Middlegame in Chess by Eugene A. Znosko-Borovsky.  An in-depth study in how to evaluate a position once the middlegame is reached and how to proceed from there.

All these books are, of were, published by Dover and can be had very cheap, used, through deleroz.com and/or Alibris Books.

If you'd like to read other people's appraisals of certain books check out Amazon.com.  When you find the book you're looking for scroll down.  There are usually reviews of books written by other readers.  Amazon also has a 'marketplace' where books can be had used.
