Reccomend an interesting and fun book to learn electronics.
christianwright: I immediately thought of this book "The Manga Guide to Electricity by Kazuhiro Fujitaki, Matsuda, and Trend-pro Co, Ltd." published by No Starch Press (http://tinyurl.com/mwsw7k)- it's squarely in the "fun" category but it's a little more basic and not really hands on with electronics.
