any recommendations for good organic chemistry textbooks/resources other than anons? sci guide gives A Guidebook to Mechanism in Organic Chemistry (Sykes) and Organic Chemistry (Clayden), are these good enough for self-learning?

Are you a slow learner or a fast learner?!
Do you enjoy pics/diagrams or plain text?!

Clayden was one of the only textbooks I read all undergrad (physics major). It was good and I got an A in organic chem

I did the whole sequence in 9 weeks in the summer. I aced it but now
10 years later remember almost nothing.

I do practice problems every few weeks to refresh my memory. Orgo was the most interesting class I've ever taken.

learn about nucleophiles and electrophiles.
Basically everything can happen in many reactions from an H+ / OH- point of view (umprotonierung etc.). Learn mechanisms with a small book like this one...

I think the faster we learn things, the less likely they are to stick. I took a five week differential equations course over the summer, and already forgot most of it.
