Like everyone else said... Carl Sagan, George Gamow (my physics prof met him), etc. If you want to learn some stuff that may be a little questionable (as in currently unverifiable) check out some string theory, Brian Greene's Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory. String theory is still in its infantcy and some call it philosophy, but it's worth looking into. It's our best bet at developing a Grand Unified Theory.

Brian Greene.
His books about physics and string theory start with the basics, are easy to understand, and will blow your mind.

Read Einstein's "Relativity" published by Three Rivers Press. It is a great description of his discoveries written for the layman (i.e. you don't have to be a math whiz to understand it).
