current distros for the new user?

Subject: current distros for the new user?

Since the linux distributions seem to change from week to week,
I am asking for yet another survey of what would be a good
distribution to hand to a new user of linux?

It would be very useful to have a book (again for the new,
inexperienced user) for reference.   What is currently
on the market?
