Highly recommend The art of electronics for intuition.

The third edition is from 2015 (Lot's of people only have the second edition so it might seem out of date as told by them), and contains just enough of everything to get you going i.e. Not enough HDL to make you a FPGA engineer but enough to understand someone elses code etc. It's pretty cheap as textbooks go.

It also contains "Good circuits; Bad circuits" sections which are quite a good way of seeing how things should be done without reading application notes and such.
