Ian Schreiber is doing a free online game design course this summer. It's open to everyone, and you can either just follow along on the blog or actually sign up and get some additional material by email. He doesn't specifically mention the title in his post, but I'm sure the book he's using is the one he wrote recently with Brenda Brathwaite, Challenges for Game Designers: Non-Digital Exercises for Video Game Designers.
So, if you've played many games and want to get an idea of what goes into designing them, check out the blog or sign up for the course.
If you are seriously interested in gaming career then I will suggest you to take a certain course for moving ahead because a degree or diploma will always help you to get better job.
