I have learned about 5 new languages in the past 5 years, mostly by creating a Tetris clone every time. since all of them pick up the same patterns except for Rust, I only read quick guides to get acquainted to the syntax. then started learning the languages from specific concepts I needed to touch on before delving in the architecture of the project.
With rust I did read the entire https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ but it was enough for me, CTRL+F is a big thing for me, and the book here wasn't slow as most big programming books are.
But all of this was after +12 in programming.
I do remember reading C++ & PHP from a book and loving it. But those were my first books and my entry level books which I wouldn't apply now.
tl;dr if you're new, a book might be the way to go. If not, I do not see why you would need a new book, just go here https://learnxinyminutes.com/ https://learnxinyminutes.com/
