Personaly I like Myke Predko books, he writes down to earth, for us that are a little slow.

Well if robitics if where your headin off to, the microcontrollers are for you. If you have no knowledge of MC's then your a non-starter in this area.

Yes like kentKen said Myke Predko does write some decent books. Look around electronics stores for books under his name. I have a book on Programing PICs by him that is over 1000 pages, and i can say that every page is relevent to the subject...

Yes, Myke is very highly regarded in the PIC community.
