Fundamentals of Electric Circuits by Alexander and Sadiku
Microelectronic Circuits by Sedra and Smith
A Student’s Guide to Maxwell’s Equations by Fleisch

These are good textbooks to read to get started in EE. The first one is an intro to circuits (KVL, KCL, resistors, capacitors, inductors, op-amps) and the second one is the natural progression to more advanced topics (device physics, bipolar transistors, MOSFET’s, etc).

The last text is an excellent primer to Electricity and Magnetism. It’s mostly qualitative, but I have yet to find a better text at explaining the quantities used in Maxwell’s equations. Highly recommended to anyone, actually.
