I'm on the lookout for some solid books that cover Linux networking. Can anyone suggest titles that would be useful for learning?

Any suggestions for Linux networking books that are easy to digest and don’t feel like an old textbook? I'm aiming for something more engaging!
If you're looking to dive deeper, ‘TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1’ by Stevens is a classic. It’s a bit dated but still a valuable reference! Just keep in mind it might not cover everything on IPv6, but it lays a strong foundation.
The ‘Linux Command Line’ by William Shotts is a great starting point. It's very approachable for beginners!
I’d recommend ‘Linux Network Administrator's Guide’ by Olaf Kirch. It's very practical and hands-on, which is helpful if you want to apply what you learn directly.
You might also try ‘Network Administrator’s Guide’ by O'Reilly or ‘Understanding Linux Network Internals.’ Both are good reads for getting into the nitty-gritty.
