I am trying to self teach myself abstract algebra and am currently looking for some good self learning books for group theory. I have already done linear algebra 1 and 2 (vector spaces, spans, bases, finite dimensions, linear transformations and homo/isomorphisms and so on). I specifically want books of the same style as Terence Tao's "Real analysis I": a lot of exposition and explaining why a topic is needed in the first place. Thanks!

I recommend Gallian's "Contemporary Abstract Algebra". It has plenty of exercises, half of which come with solutions.
