effective books to read- new to electronics

hey folks im a high school tudent with no electronics courses being offered in school or around school, and ive tried a few books on electronics such as schuams and electronics the easy way...or at least they thought so, if you know of any book for almost complete beginners with little backround knowledge it would be immensly helpful....peace.

i bought a book called "electronic systems & techinques" by K. F. Ibrahim, it is a translated version, so you might find it in a different name, but the name i gave you is the original one.
the book is quite for beginners, but you need some knowledge in physichs, basic things, but it is quite good

Have a look at.............
