Good place to start would be with Elementary Differential Equations by William E. Boyce and Richard C. DiPrima  

Another good book would be Differential Equations, Dynamical Systems, and Linear Algebra by Morris W. Hirsch and Stephen Smale.

For a more advanced treatment, check Ordinary Differential Equations by V.I. Arnold and Richard A. Silverman.

Also found Edward R. Scheinerman's book at http://www.ams.jhu.edu/~ers/book.pdf seems to be a more gentle introduction (so it takes longer to get to the good stuff).
