The best book about this subject is Taking charge of your fertility written by a female author. You can find it in Amazon
Trust me...this book is very simple and has lots of illustrations.

 I would stick to condoms or the pill this method isnt exactly great for contraception and there is still the risk of pregnancy or catching STI's

 I would suggest you look into the Billings Method. You just need to search for it on the net, there are lots of sites. It is much more reliable, as it helps you find out when you are ovulating by examining your discharge, rather than just relying on your menstrual cycle.
The rhythm method is not at all reliable and even the Catholic Church doesn't advise it any more!
With the Billings Method, on the other end, you are more in tune with your body and can accurately avoid pregnancy or use it to try for a baby! It's been tested and proven to work on a 99% level.
However, you still need to use condoms to protect you from sexually transmitted diseases! If you're adamant against condoms, make sure both you and your partner are fully tested before you make love.
Good luck!

At 16 or 17 this really isn't a good idea, use a condom to protect you from stds and hiv. Plus, you don't want to end up with a kid at your age trust me, all fun time would be over!
