I've started taking creatine, l-glutamine mainly, and ZMA, amino acids and protein. 190lb doesn't sound skinny! I'm 150lb with basically no fat and a bit of muscle, 190 would sound pretty good to me.

If you've never lifted beofre, start out with a full-body program (meaning 1-2 exercises for ea. muscle group) 3 days per week.

If you hit plateaus or are ready for bigger gains (probably after about 8 weeks) try splitting your workout into two different ones and really blast each muscle group twice a week. (means you might need to lift another day)

As far as the 240 lbs goes, 50 lbs of muscle in less than a year is a LOT for anybody, especially somebody with a tall, lean build like you, but anything is possible with hard work.

Better eat that protein! Good luck
