A lot of people dislike Zed Shaw's books (the author of Learn ___ the Hard Way) for various reasons, and he has posted some things online that serious call into question his credibility (namely, claiming that Python 3 is not Turing complete).

Dive into Python 3 is a good book. I used it to supplement my CS classes in early college. There are some other good book suggestions on the sidebar of https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/ . In particular, I've heard good things about "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python".
