Hmm, as a newbie - there might not be much point in just getting another "normal" zoom lens.

I would recommend getting either a wide angle or telephoto lens. Not sure what type of photography you do, but a wide angle lens is always cool. Something like the Sigma 10-20 (not the best, but cheap) or Tokina 11-16 2.8 etc are great lenses. Even the Canon 10-22 if you can afford it is excellent on a crop body.
