I have read around 4-5 books on design patterns, but still I don't feel I have come closer to intermediate level in design patterns?

How should I go studying design patterns?

Is there any good book for design patterns?

I know this will come only with experience but there must be some way to master these?

I read three books and still did not understand patterns very well until I read Head First Design Patterns by OReilly. This book opened my eyes and really explained well.
