Prayer advice

I was wondering if anyone had any prayer advice or talk about their practices, prayer books, icon corners, etc. I am still fairly new and not Orthodox yet, but I have been praying with the Orthodox Prayer Book, and recently have been using the prayer beads. When praying morning and evening prayers, do all Orthodox use the same prayers found in the Orthodox Prayer Book, or are there a variety of morning and evening prayers? What prayer books to some of you use? In general, I know we stand before the icons, but is ist ever appropriate to kneel during private prayer? Thanks, Chris
