I will take this opportunity to recommend Pinter, “Book of Abstract Algebra”, which is a wonderful collection of exercises designed to help you discover the basic principles of group theory on your own.
Since we’re recommending books my absolute favorite math book is Shafarevich’s “Basic notions of algebra”. It tries hard to convey the motivation for algebra and I don’t know any other book like it.
