This one, different picture but almost as bad:

And then all of these books:

For a cheaper alternative but not as guided, check out these books as well. Very short and clear examples of different circuits that are used all over the place.

I was at the same point you were at so I started working through every example in the timers and op amps book. It helped more than I could have imagined! You can buy a dozen 555 timers and 741 op amps, a breadboard and some jumper wire and make half of the circuits in that book for under $30. Very useful stuff. It will also help you narrow down what sub fields of EE you enjoy.
So as far as hobby books go, I'd generally suggest the Forest Mims Engineering note books. They have a ton of useful circuits, and mini projects and stuff. Very useful for Tinkering and useful all around. Also pretty easy to read and follow.
These three books are AWESOME reference materials for beginners:
