In Search Of Schrödinger's Cat: Quantum Physics and Reality

and the sequel

Schrödinger's Kittens and the Search for Reality

both by John Gribbin are great' date=' starting with an assumption of school level knowledge and advancing through a lot quantum physics. It's a good book for beginners but even intermediates will find parts of it new or interesting.

I'd second yourdad's The Elegant Universe by Greene.

 

Also it kinda depends on what level of physics you are on at the moment. Obviously a beginner requires a different book to a postgrad looking for a maths filled book.

 

What level are you and how much mathematical content are you looking for???
