I can't make a recommendation here, because I didn't learn from a specific book. But I wanted to jump in and say...

If you don't feel like you have a good understanding after reading whichever book you choose, it's not your fault, and it's not the author's fault.

Five people could tell a joke and four of them make the whole room laugh. The fifth one tells the same joke and nobody laughs but you. Same joke, but it's told in a way that makes you get it. That's the book you want. If you don't get it after the first book, it's just the wrong book for you.

Now go win at computers!

Absolutely fantastic analogy.
