I'm new too, I bought a lot of books including Dan Ablan's book which is very good. I also have tim albees book - Lightwave essentials another great book that will get you kick started into becoming productive. lots of tutes online also. There is so much to lightwave that it will take much time to really get a handle on how powerful this program is.
recently Newtek had a special for Lightwave that included I believe four books involving lighting by Nicholas Boughen, texturing by - Leigh Van Der Byl and 1001 tips and Tricks by a large group of talented lightwave artists.
As for myself, I'm learning a lot and realizing just how much I still need to learn. Practice is the key Good luck!
