    You should pick up the "Amazing Spider-Man: Big Time" Collection from Dan Slott, it's not too highly priced for the content you get, and from there you can go on to read stories such a Spider Island, and the rest of Slott's brilliant run. (Yes I'm including Superior Spider-Man, as I actually read the book rather than mindlessly hate it like most of the comic book community)

    I know its not the book you are looking for but if you want a great starting point for spider-man I'd recommend ultimate it has the best writing out of any spider-man comic.

    seconded. Especially if you liked the new movie, it's got the same sort of tone.
