We are living the Age of technology and Information. The books belong to History.
Use your PC and get access to the most wonderfull world of information in this link you'll find many links that I consider very usefull for someone who wants to surf of to study Astronomy.

also the APOD contains a picture from space for every day since 1995. Very entertaining and educational as well. Try it.

Either Cosmos, like everyone said, Or Blue Moons to Black Holes, by Melton Knocke. Firefly encyclopedia of Astronomy comes close though.

"Pale Blue Dot" by Carl Sagan
It's a masterpiece of common language used to explain complex astronomy and physics. A fun read!

The books by Carl S. are pretty good, but if you are looking for a really entertaining (as well as informative) read, try "Who's Afraid of Shrodinger's Cat?"
I didn't think much of "A Brief History of Time"....I'm not into Cliff's Notes. :D

a book called "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card but it is only about space, not so much on astronomy
