I got recommended to read The Art of Electronics which feels to advanced for me. Any other book/s (top 3) for beginners in Electronics?
I used Google with “books about basic level electronics for beginners” and found a large selection of good titles.
Consider a local community college course, as well.
Since you are posting on the Arduino Forum I assume you have an interest in
Arduinos. The first book I would get is the Arduino Cookbook and go through it before spending any money.
Are you also a beginner in electricity? You can't learn electronics without knowing electricity.
Yes I am
Simon Monk has several fun books about Arduino projects, and a reference for going deeper into electronics (not starter)
I already recommended that website to @hk_jh in another of his topics but that also seem to be over his head.

Eletronics course is huge and diversified like: Digital Electronics and analog Electronics. Digital Electronics is further divided into major two categories viz., Programmable Digital Electronics and Non-programmable Digital Electronics.
I would suggest that you begin with a basic (simple and elementary) experiment where you are given a specifc task and then asked to verify if you have got the expected result.
You could look at the classes and texts offered to would-be “ham radio” licensees. They tend to simplify a lot of,the details To quickly provide a broad knowledge base.
Agreed.
It was the one best things I ever did, especially as the firm paid for it. Very basic, but a start.
In the UK, the old style Technical Colleges played an important part in higher education.
One thing led to another, and the following year took 'A' level Biology, the one subject I really enjoyed but the school insisted on Chemistry, Maths and Physics. No choice in those days.
By then, as a mature student, I had actually learnt to learn, something they didn't teach at school.
If you’re just starting out with electronics, there are several beginner-friendly books that make learning easy and fun. “Make: Electronics” by Charles Platt is one of the best introductory books—it teaches through hands-on experiments and clear explanations, so you actually build things while you learn. “Practical Electronics for Inventors” by Paul Scherz and Simon Monk is a bit more detailed, but still very accessible and great once you understand the basics. “Getting Started in Electronics” by Forrest M. Mims III is a classic and uses simple drawings and easy-to-understand language, perfect for absolute beginners. “Electronics for Dummies” by Cathleen Shamieh breaks down complex concepts into everyday language, with helpful examples. If you enjoy visual learning, “The Art of Electronics” by Horowitz and Hill is fantastic, though slightly advanced—it’s worth keeping as a reference as you grow your skills. All of these can help you build a strong foundation in electronics.

And a bunch of books by Marsden?
