This list inspired by my own college days along with Susan Rigetti's (née Fowler) wonderful "So You Want to Learn Physics..." blog post. Mostly weighted towards undergrad material since I never went further past that level myself. List is ordered in the way you should read the books; not a ranking. Assumes you have high school math at the level of algebra, trig, and geometry decently mastered going into this list.
