How to read for Dummies, its full of words.
No, actually I just finished "Mr. S - My Life With Frank Sinatra" written by his personal valet; And next on deck are:"When the Mob Ran Vegas: Stories of Money, Mayhem and Murder." and Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road" by Rush drummer Neil Peart. I also picked up his "Roadshow: Landscape with drums: a Concert Tour By Motorcyle".
Reading works by literary giants often drowns me in things I cannot comprehend, so I keep it light.

If you have a handle on Algebra, Calculus should come sooner or later. Wait till you get to Differential Equations
I thought that was Difficult equations.

Books:
QED by Feynman
The Quantum World by Kenneth Ford
Trying to find a good E&M book(other than my collection of textbooks) for the summer. Any suggestions?
Earlier this year I read "Relativity: The Special and the General Theory" by Einstein. I read it, then had to write a paper on it and teach a class on it to get three CEU's. Teachers in NC are required to get 15 CEU's every five years to keep our license.
Magazines:
Technique from USA Gymnastics
Reason
Popular Mechanics
Townhall.com
Side note: If you take differential equations, take it after your second semester of calculus and not after your third semester like I did.
Interesting reading lists. Pretty much kills the stereotype of tool/car guys being drooling dimwits that can't count past ten. 10! perhaps?

Calculus 6E by James Stewart.
Got some good non-educational uses out of it too. If I'm on a bus or train and feel like being left alone, I just place this book on the seat next to me...Nobody ever asks
