If you read all this stuff and still don't understand BGP the way you would like to, more books likely aren't what you need. I would focus more on hands on work. Many folks learn better by doing than reading (me for one :). If you are a Certificationzone subscriber, Howard Berkowitz has a three tutorial set on BGP that come with some labs to help illustrate points which might help. But I'm sure just working through some configs on a lab while following along with your reading material might be the best bet.
