Said the caterpillar to Alice "One should begin at the beginning" ;->
depending upon your current level of expertise, I would say that any of the books out there are as good as any other. Unfortunately, if you have the level of understanding that I did, for example, of OSPF, then you just have to keep reading and keep banging out things on routers. sooner or later it begins to sink through. If you don't have routers, you can rent time at any of several places. I wish the gettcomm was operational, because I found their rack rental approach well suited for beginners. maybe soon? keep reading groupstudy. I can't tell you how much this newsgroup has contributed to my understanding. lots of good folks happy to help. best wishes to you.
