Book recommendations

I'm tired of word soup shit. I pick up a book, either waste my time reading the wrong shit, or thumb through trying to find the shit I want. Everything is written as if it's to tease adult babies. Why isn't there barebone books that uses sequential repetition, along with straight proofs (like Euclid's elements)?
> pp.24 Here's a little bit of info here, but you don't really know about it till later haha! (flip to pp. 278 if you wanna know more) Here's only a little bit more info that doesn't explain shit!

Seems like every stem book has become crappy versions of 'choose your own adventure'. I bet it's the same reason why it takes 12 fucking years for students to get to pre calc. Bad authors ruin society.

I recommend the book Algebra by I.M. Gelfand, and A. Shen.
It is short and sweet and fun. I found it on pdfsearchengine.net
