This is a difficult book for a self-learner. (at least for me)

I highly recommend Introduction to Algorithms (SMA 5503) — MIT lectured by one of the coauthors — Prof. Charles Leiserson (The 'L' of CLRS) and Prof. Erik Demaine who is a bright and fantastic teacher (Perhaps you've heard about Cartesian Trees(treaps)?).
I especially love the materials which offer more intuitive (and perhaps easier) proofs.

In case you need solutions when you're stuck, here is a CLRS Study Group.
But note that some solutions are apparently incorrect.

In case you want to know more about CLRS, consider giving Prof. Thomas Cormen (The 'C' of CLRS) a follow on quora :)
It's also worth mentioning that he recommends another book for starters — Algorithms Unlocked
