Hello. Electronics interest me very much and I would like to learn more as a hobby. What books should I read, magazines should I subscribe to(just subscribed to Nuts and Volts, good?) and what projects should I start with? Thanks
first i would suggest that you buy the following books.
"The Art of electronics"
and
"Teach yourself electricity and electronics"
and subscribe to the EPE magazine (everyday practical electronics). you will find alot of projects to build in EPE. and i also suggest that you buy the back issues of EPE which you can get from their website
I think it would be helpful if you had some kind of idea what projects you want to do. Robotics, games, tools, like clocks, weather stations... As a hobby, it's easier to start building simple projects and build your knowledge outwards from there.

I agree, thats what I did 5 years ago (junior in high school), just tried making different circuits for my car, and now I'm going to college for it.
Digital logic circuits are pretty cool. So are circuits involving LED's, although I might just be attracted to flashing lights?
