One of the standards in Science Fiction. It takes a little bit of investment in the beginning, but it's well worth it. Note: the rest of the books in the Dune series don't necessarily measure up to the original

Highly recommended.

Really, really good story with interesting characters

A mix of science fiction and literature set within the Trojan War of the Iliad. Great for anyone that likes Greek mythology

A classic set of books about the far future. The first three books are really all that you need to read: Foundation, Faoundation and Empire, and Second Foundation. Pretty fast reading, and very interesting.

A nice book at an introductory level, dealing with ideas such as black holes, relativity, and time travel. Look for an illustrated version.

Yes, it is technically a textbook, but not like any other you've seen. It's full of cartoons and clear explanations without much math. This book could be a great supplement for the course, or just some pleasant reading (yes, really) for someone interested in science.

An introduction to modern physics, including relativity, quantum mechanics, and string theory. It starts off quite readable for a high school physics student, but gets pretty complex by the end.

A follow-up to The Elegant Universe, but they can be read in either order.

A physicist takes a look at some things like warp speed, time travel, and teleportation. Can any of these ideas ever be realized?

An excellent introduction to Bridge. The official book of the BHS Bridge Club
