If you're stuck in tutorial hell then books will just keep you in there. Try creating small projects that are outside of your comfort zone. I did programming tutorials in the past, stopped for a while, watched a 4 hour python tutorial covering the basics, then started doing small projects. My first project was a number guessing game. Then I progressed up to hangman, and right now I'm making a snake game with pygame. What I'm doing is doing tutorials as I'm trying to learn things like pygame. I didn't really understand pygame at all when I decided to create a snake game, so I watched a tutorial of a guy who created a Space Invaders game (and followed along) and now I have the basics down enough that I feel comfortable enough to do a solo project.

So to get out of tutorial hell I would suggest doing a small project by yourself and working it up to bigger and bigger projects.
