getting started

I am new to astronomy and to get started I would like to just learn what some
of the objects are that I can see with my naked eye. Can anyone recommend a
website (or a book if no such websites exist) which describes the most obvious
items in the night sky and how to locate them, without getting lost in other
topics.
