Another neat book is "The Elements of Computing Systems" (http://www1.idc.ac.il/tecs/)

It is basically a really high level overview of a whole bunch of stuff from EE/CS, from logic gates through VM design through compilers (and sort of OSes, but not really). Each chapter is a project and build on each other (but you can actually do them in any order).

It isn't as in depth as many of these other books, but might be an easier first book.
