practice. practice. i think reading only partially helps in typographic skill. keep working with it and you'll find size relationships and pairs that work together and ones that don't. know when to use what kind of letterform, etc.
Stop Stealing Sheep & Find Out How Type Works is a good start:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obido…I'd stay away from elements of typographical style and die neue typography until you've got the groundwork laid out. there's some awesome books that talk more about technical issues and the philosophy of type, but are seldom 'how-to' manuals.
good luck.
