I haven't fought this particular lich, but on every other lich I have fought, I set millions of traps around him then shoot magic missles at him or something and when he moves, he dies! Also protection from evil, chaotic commands, haste, summoning elementals, breech, and insect plague. Insect plague is great to open with because it severly impairs his spellcasting, and takes hit points off.
As far as good reading, one of my favorite trilogies in the forgotten realms is the Avatar trilogy. It introduces you to a lot of the characters that you hear talked about frequently in the game. Not to mention that they are kick ass books.
