Quick Electronics question
Seeing as I want to learn about electronics and things associated with them I was wondering if anybody knew of any books that could be helpful something with the basics then moves on to the more challenging things like A Moron's Guide To Electronics or something like that??
I've gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, please keep me here

what type of electronics specifically? there's far too many areas to be covered with one book. home entertainment electronics, computer electronics, phone electronics, radio electronics?

I was thinking more along the lines of electronics theory and principles how circuit boards work, what transistors and resistors are, just a basic how this works type of thing

Any books by Forrest M. Mims III will be an excellent starting point. I grew up with his simple explanations and project books that lead to me to furthering my interests. Really good stuff for children ages 8 to 80.
Check it out. His books can be had for cheap at just about any Radio Shack, Edmund Scientiffic, or if one still exists Heath Co. Try your local library as well.

Other than starting out with Lego mindstorms and/or a dummies guide to assembler or FORTH, there is no one single source or publication that I've ever regarded as definitive and up to date, outside of actually majoring in robotic engineering (a little above and beyond for a layman just wanting to have fun and satiate his curiousity, I know).
However, just about every city, and especially university towns, will always have some robotics hobbyist club. I think that would make a good start. Google's a good source for finding that much.
If you discover anything, please let me know as well.
