This is my favorite circuit book:

https://www.amazon.com/Analog-Circuit-Design-Personalities-E...

It is written from zen-level experts in a very ELI5 way. The examples start off with a naive approach, and step by step explain how they were improved, in some cases over decades.

Plus it focuses on how analog really is an art. Circuits have so many competing design parameters, and the canvas is so wide open, that it really takes a different kind of brain to approach the problem. This book gives a peak into that process in a comical, light-hearted way.
