Woooo, this subject I like! I could sit all day with my head buried in a book about quantum physics or cosmology!

I particularly recommend the following:

The Case Of The Missing Neutrinos: John Gribbin
In Search of Schrodingers Cat: John Gribbin (there's a follow-up called Schrodingers Kittens)
In Search of The Big Bang: John Gribbin
The Birth of Time: John Gribbin
In Search of the Edge of Time: John Gribbin
The Origin of the Universe: John D Barrow
Measuring the Universe: Kitty Ferguson
Achilles in the Quantum Universe (The Definitive History of Infinity): Richard Morris

I haven't included Feynman or Hawking in my list since you are obviously familiar with their writing [img]smile.gif[/img] It may be obvious that John Gribbin is one of my favourite science writers, he is clear enough in his explanations for the layman to get to grips with the subject (as long as you have some grasp of applied mathematics), but doesn't oversimplify or speak down to the reader.

Now, if like me you also have an interest in Mathematical philosophy and theory, you may also find the following of interest:

Five Equations That Changed the World: Michael Gullen
Archimedes' Revenge: Paul Hoffman
Fuzzy Thinking: Bart Kosko
Nature's Numbers: Ian Stewart
Does God Play Dice?: Ian Stewart
The Collapse of Chaos: Jack Cohen & Ian Stewart
What Is Mathematics, Really?: Reuben Hersh
