I can recommend the book "Starting Strength" by Mark Rippetoe. (I learned about it after following some links in discussions here on HN.)
It has lots of information about the basic lifts: squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press, and power cleans.
Your list seems pretty good already.
Without knowing anything, I bet 10 Pounds that your are probably doing the squat wrong. The first 60 pages in "Starting Strength" are about the squat, and they are necessary.
Rippetoe suggest three sets of five repetitions at your working weight for most lifts. Of course you should do some warm up sets at lower weights for each lift to avoid injury and work on form.
The advise from the book has worked pretty well for me. I started as a complete novice in April, and I am now lifting around 1.5 times bodyweight on the squat and the deadlift. (The other lifts have also progress nicely.)

(There are also lots of videos at Youtube of Mark Rippetoe coaching. See e.g. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rippetoe+squat&#...)

I should do more pullups. Try learning the power clean (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rippetoe+power+c...) It's fun, if exhausting.
