Sorry, I asked this question before but it got deleted and I didn't get to write down the suggestions you all gave me!
I'm interested in Astronomy and Physics but I know nothing, so what books would you recommend?
Thanks.

Go to a library and borrow some introductory texts on these subjects.
When I was a kid I read college-level astronomy textbooks from the library. I learned a lot.
Once you've read a couple of books you'll learn what specifically interests you, and you can borrow books that are more specific to those topics.
