So yeah I'm a newb, and trying to suck up a ton of knowledge from here. My problem is the amount of information is almost too much! Are there any "Must read" threads (apart from the obvious stickies etc)? This place can be quite overwhelming for someone new to BTC in general.

All the talk here is about one written paper. The link below is to the white paper by Satoshi Nakamoto. https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

You want to know more about the forum rules and policies or about Bitcoin?
For bitcoin I guess bitcoin faq is better than the topics here

Well I guess one of my problems is that when I get interested in something I want to know it ALL I feel like I'm barely scrathing the surface, and I cant decide on what I want to start reading about. Mining, trading, the tech etc.

I know how you feel. I remember when I first started out there seemed like so much to take in that I never knew where to start. Your best bet is to pick something at random and start from there that was what I did. It may take a while but at least you know you will be more prepared when you finally start to make a go of it

There are MANY different parts you can learn. I think first pick if mining, or straight buying. That will help your process some.

Here is a small introduction how to use bitcoin https://bitcoin.org/en/getting-startedTo use bitcoin, you do not need to understand all technicalities or things like mining yet. Simply need a wallet to hold bitcoins. However, if you are interested in that I recommend reading the bitcoin paper. Once you have a wallet you will have a unique bitcoin receval address.

That's a pretty good read, thanks. So far I've started using faucets (yeah I get next to nothing, but I get a sense of the system), I've sold some other currencies for a bit of BTC, and made a few purchases. I tried mining (first thing that came to mind with the limited knowledge I had/have of BTC), but my hardware isn't up for the task. I'm considering getting one of those cheapish usb miners to try it out "for real". Again, I know the investment has a slim to non-existing chance of paying off, but I'm interested in knowledge more than profit, at least to begin with. Baby steps

Baby steps You could try joining a smaller community and working alongside other early adopters. I think that's a good way to get started.

Is huge forum and BitCoin is huge, just read and learn slowly, when you have time. It is not everything you need to know in details. Focus on some things. About wallets about safety first. Then move on.

I'm reading up on a lot of stuff and slowly getting an idea of where I want to go with my little bitcoin adventure True that it is not easy to understand bitcoin for newbies, but the good thing is you don't need to understand every aspect of bitcoin in details to use it as a ordinary user. The most important things are to figure out how wallet works (change, backup, safety, etc.) and how transaction works (confirmation, tx fee, etc.).
