I usually recommend Stanley Lippmans "C++ Primer" as a first book on C++.I'm pretty sure that you have discovered that while many people are able to write a big tome on one topic or the other - the art of creating something that's actually readable from page 1 and onward isn't mastered by...

How can anyone answer this? We have no idea of your level of knowledge and we have no idea what questions the interviewer will ask. If you think you can fool someone into believing you have two years experience just by reading a book, you are likely to be sadly disappointed.
