How much physics is necessary for learning Electronics?
Option 3, start with the Horowitz. :-)

If you want to understand the "behind the scene" you need a lot of physics. You need some notions of modern physics, quantum mechanics, for understand Fermi Levels, tunnel effect, photodiode, etc.
If you want to have an idea you should take a look at "Milmann - Halkias", the opening chapters and chapter 19 (about solid state physics), or the venerable Sze "Physics of semiconductors devices".

But for became a maker (a good maker), in my humble opinion, you don't need so much. The "Art of Electronics" require a very small knowledge of physics and math, it has a very practical approach, intuitive, and could give you a robust preparation in design electronic circuit.
