I'd suggest work by Kaku for sure, but he can also check stuff by Hawking, Smolin (Obligatory boring writing style) and João Magueijo. Ronald Mallet too if he likes hypothetical time travel scenarios and wormholes. He strikes me as someone that likes the Theoretical physics part of the field, so my recommendations are based on that.
Ivve, you know its all <3. Ill be on tomorrow, youre either at work or the warden is roaming the intrawebz. Id hate to have to crush his skull.

I'll take that as a suggestion, since I haven't read it yet and the library probably has it. Originally Posted by Meat

Also, look and see if you guys have a half priced books or a place that sells used books and you can give me 2 or 3 books for about 15 bucks. Good luck and feel free to hit me up if you have any questions

Hawking is a great read but if you are looking for something a bit more general I would also suggest:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51yKxtzUwjL.jpg
It's basically a collection of 40 or so essays that Neil deGrasse Tyson wrote for Natural History over the course of the years so it tackles a little piece of a broad range of physics topics. His writing is accessible and engaging and often even funny. It is a nice springboard at least to find new things to learn about in depth.

Origins is the first NDT book Id suggest to anyone. Merlins tour of the Universe is a close secone, then Id go with death by black hole and the pluto files.
Cool fact # 233: NDT is an adviser/mentor of mine and we talk every few months. He's as real and as genuine as you see on TV and in his books.

My mind said "Gogol Bordello, M.C. Escher, and Bach" which is a pretty weird combination
