I have tried learning by reading. Not only Linux but other
correspondence courses as well and it does not work for me. I learn
best in an instructor led course. Books can not tell by the look on
your face that you just don't get it. Books can rarely answer the
questions that I ask. And most importantly (especially in Linux) books
are not written so that a newbie can understand it. You would not
believe how long it took me to figure out the ./ before a command.
 Books and Linux geeks take that for granted but a Windows and or DOS
trained user would not even consider it.
