Planet of viruses by Carl Zimmer is a very accessible (and short) book on virus factoids link. It's actually based on his blog so it's more of a beginner text. One big drawback is there's a ton of spelling errors in it for some reason.
Another great one about the history of viruses is called To Catch a Virus. It really reads more like a history text but is one of the most thorough ones i've stumbled across link
Actually the earth was created for viruses, based on sheer numbers and ubiquity. They are the most prolific life form on this planet. I am reading Carl Zimmer's A Planet of Viruses now. Highly recommended if you want to learn about this fascinating organism.
Oh, and read about this virus equipped with a drill.
