Hi, a very elementary written book is Local Representation Theory by Alperin.The second book on finite groups by Huppert has also a big part about modular representation theory.(you should read the first book too,with an long introduction to representation theory in the semisimple case) a more advanced book is that of feit and a recent (2010) book is "Representations of Groups: A Computational Approach" by Lux and Pahlings.It has many nice examples with gap and the sporadic groups.You should also take a look for the books of curtis and reiner.The one from 1962 is easy to read and might be the best introduction.
