For most people I would highly recommend Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe (I've seen Azure advocate his book before I think)
If you are lactose intolerant, I would suggest liberal amounts of olive oil, nuts, seeds, bacon, butter, coconut oil.
If you want to minimize fat gain, try 3500 calories a day for a couple weeks and see what happens with your weight. If that does not do it - up it to 4000 calories a day...seriously - gaining weight is all about eating...it is as hard or harder than the workouts...

Yep, I also quote the man himself in my signature.
Good post....this and the one before.
Robb Wolf is also the man.
