I think these 2 favorites of mine will help you:

- Tony Kuphaldt's books: http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/ and related forum http://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/

- "Practical Electronics for Inventors" by Paul Scherz

Both books start at explain-like-I'm-5 level and build up the narrative from there. The forum too is a great resource; lots of questions and good answers on fundamentals just like yours.
