Tried to pick a book to get into linear algebra recently, the experience was fairly hellish. First course this, second course that, done right, done wrong... I'd to the LADR4e route, but I don't have the proof-it chops yet...

I had the same experience when I first learned linear algebra. I don't have any book recommendations, but I did want to say that for some topics, it is better to learn it by applying it than by using a book. Linear algebra was like that for me, but oddly enough I was able to learn tensor calculus from a book later (after doing a lot of problems).

Thanks to everyone recommending books too!
