OK, this is a trial. If you feel there is a really good (or really bad) book that you've read, write a review here.
I will probably incorporate particularly good reviews into this post.
Please also feel free to discuss books in this thread.
I'll start it off.
The Art of Electronics (Horowitz & Hill)
This is my favourite text. It is very readable and requires very limited understanding of higher mathematics.
It is not for the beginner, I'd recommend that you have a pretty good working knowledge of what basic components do before reading this.
The first chapter covers a number of mathematical concepts that are very useful, however they are not required (other than in their most basic form) to understand the rest of the material presented in the book.
