Specifically "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" is my favourite Al Sweigart book.

I'm not much of a Python guy, but concur with this; I enjoyed this book and did get something out of it.

I would also recommend "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" [1], as you are learning hands on with some practical stuff: from generating Excel-files to PDFs, from sending e-mails to work with files and folders. At the end you will have some tools to automate some of your daily tasks for real. Oh, and it's free to read as well.
