I started with Think Python because it actually explains things instead of just listing syntax, then went to Learning Python when I wanted the deeper stuff. Fluent Python is great but honestly it's not a beginner book, it assumes you're already comfortable and it'll just frustrate you early on. Effective Python is the one I'd read last, it's more like a collection of tips you pick up once you've written some real code. So yeah, Think Python first, Learning Python second, and leave Fluent and Effective for later.
