This should keep you busy, but I can suggest books in other areas if you want.

Advanced stuff, if you make it through the beginning books:

Cosmology -- these are both low level and low math, and you can probably handle them now:

So's literally anything else. Hell, I imagine wikipedia would make a better textbook than L&L Classical Field Theory. (Though I must say, I used their mechanics book for my undergrad mechanics course and really liked it. The class textbook was Marion and thornton, which I really didn't like. L&L was much clearer.)

As with most things you gotta know the basics. Start with classical mechanics. The best book is Landau's Mechanics, but it's quite advanced. The undergraduate text I used at university was Thornton and Marion. If that's still too much I've heard Taylor's book is even gentler.

Also, make sure you know your calculus.

Thorton and Marion was the textbook when I took it and I would be surprised if it wasn't still. It's a solid undergraduate textbook. When I took it my professor more or less taught straight from it, but Makins will probably deviate a bit more (in a good way)

Are you talking about the green book?
