I had hoped some folks who are more into houseplants would comment; one gardening author I really respect is Alan Toogood, who's written books like Indoor Gardens: Living with Plants, House Plants, and Care of House Plants in addition to many others. All of his books I've read have left me impressed, informed, and confident to practice the skills he's covered.

The organic grow book is probably the best book I 've come across. I tend to favor plants (and fungi) that I will somehow consume, so their health is my first concern. Both the information and the way it is presented in this book, especially if it is your first contact with it, is great. Here you can take a peak on the table of contents and intro of the book.
It might not help you picking plants, but it will help you keeping them healthy and identifying issues. And much much more than that.
