In addition to what Dave said...

The Forrest Mims Circuit Scrapbook - I'm not familiar with this book but the
books/booklets he has written and carried by Radio Shack had some fairly
basic electronic info both theory and how to with example circuits. Its
about $14.67 on Amazon. Amazon does have a listing of the Table of Contents.
The first pages on analog circuit theory looks good. Of course the base of
any electronics is Ohm's Law, how voltage, current and resistance interact.
Using just that you can do a lot. Hell, a good pizza and beer cost that.

Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics - It being some 700 page goes
into electronics a lot more then Mims does.

The Art of Electronics - In addition to many many great circuits it also has
an into that covers electronic theroy

If it were me I would go with "The Forrest Mims Circuit Scrapbook" as a
first choice. At about 140 pages this one won't break your arm.
The "Art of Electronics" would be second. (I would initially get both of
these books.) At 1100 pages, a little more than light reading.
Then if you really wanted to get into electronics theory more than these two
books provide get "Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics".
