Where to go for groups after Fraleigh

Question

I have been studying Fraleigh's Abstract algebra in order to learn groups. Up to know I am at sec 16, Group Action on a set and I'm starting to feel that I am losing the development of the arguments. I also found a little bit hard to grasp Factor groups, but now I think I have an idea how to manipulate them.

I intend to follow the quest of learning groups, and my question is for a reference(s). I have self-study it so far so a pedagogical source would be much appreciated.

I really want to tackle Sylow theory, but the group actions as it is in Fraleigh seemed scant to me.

Answer 1

Abstract Algebra by David Steven Dummit and Richard M. Foote is a popular one.

Answer 2

Algebra by Michael Artin is a good one.

Answer 3

I am also reading Fraleigh now. It is good for you to use Fraleigh to obtain rings and fields. I followed the advice of the following link:

It is a Taiwan chinese version, I hope it can be translate by google in your browser.

It says that Nicholson's is good for group theory, and Fraleigh's is as mentioned above. Dummit's for module...blablalba...
