Good Assembly Language book

Ok im currently in my 2nd year in coll, next year ill be doing Assembly Language on the course i want to do in Uni (ive been accepted in places.lol), as a result i thought id have a bash at it in advance so that im a step ahead by the time i come to study it at uni. Ive heard from various places that is hard to understand and grasp but i also read a pdf on it which said it wasnt as notoriously hard as people made out however i like to think if it as being solid :p ive seen various sample codes and it does look hard in my opinion which is why im after a good understandable book on it. ive kind of made

This and This my first choices but am not that sure which to go for (if any). Im also learning C++ in my spare time and VB in college so im not that much of a novice when it comes to programming anymore. Are there ne other books i should be looking at. I know there are free pdf assembly language books you can download but i dont like reading online books. I prefer it in physical form. Thanks for any help/guidence

I think you'd probably find it easier if you just waited until you learnt about it, Learning first hand from an expert teacher gives a better understanding :)
