You might enjoy Bill Bryson’s A Short History of Nearly Everything. He is a brilliant writer.

Cosmos by Carl Sagan, who is my homeboy. It was also a big PBS series on US TV in the late 70s, and it’s available on DVD.

Gotta plug The Fabric of Reality by David Deutsch. It really gave me an entirely new perspective on not only physics but the very nature of our search for scientific theories.
