OK. You'll have to be more specific if your time is truly limited.

I'd recommend the following books:

Accelerated C++ by Andrew Koenig and Barbara Moo
The C++ Programming Lanauge, Bjarne Stroustrup
Effective C++, Scott Meyers
More Effective C++, Scott Meyers
Effective STL, Scott Meyers
Generic Programming and the STL, Matt Austern
The C++ Standard Library, Nicolai Josuttis

For Boost, join the boost-users mailing list (see www.boost.org for mailing
list subscription information). The boost mailing lists are also available
via NNTP through GMane (www.gmane.org).

One of the best things about C++ is the rich collection of top-notch books.
I'm sure the .NET books outweigh the C++ books by a considerable margin, but
in my experience, the content of these top C++ books far exceeds that of
most .NET titles.
