Jay,
This is probably not much help but:
With so many books out there, you have to somehow match your level of understanding and skills to the books to build on. (like going to school) if we started out in the 12 th grade, we probably would not understand much in our algebra or classes.
FYI, I have several real good books by Smith. but my favorite one for a deep understanding of how things are and why they have to be that way is a book by Rowley I think it is called "Race Car Engineering and Design" 2nd. edition. (If no one has corrected the name, I will look when I get home and post the real name)
I believe there is a thread on here in which Kirkham tried to get a group buy for this book.
Anyway, I am on the road for a couple of days and do not remember the exact names of the books but most all of the Smiths books are good.
