Hi HN, I spend a lot of time playing with circuits, MCU's, etc, but still feel like I lack the most basic fundamentals on how electricity works in general. Can anyone recommend any books that wouldn't be unreadable for someone without an EE or physics degree?

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stan Gibilisco's Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics. It got me into electronics as a curious teenager, and helped get me through the EE part of my undergrad degree.
Edward Purcell, Electricity and Magnetism, it is a standard lower division undergraduate textbook. The only prerequisites are basic calculus and some mechanics.
