I am trying to improve my skills in encryption and decryption, but there are too many ways to encrypt. What ideas are common in this subject, are there any books that talk about this?

Are you asking how to crack a cipher? When you’re dealing with a modern, strong cipher, (AES, Blowfish, Twofish, etc.) there is no known way to decrypt the ciphertext unless you have the key, or can brute-force guess it.
If you want to learn more about using cryptography in general, Schneier’s book is probably the best there is. For a more popular description, take a look at The Code Book, which is a fun read.
