Hi,all

 

can any one suggest me some nice books on physics actly i jus started reading..i m currently reading Feynman lecture on physics book(vol1)...i knw graduate level maths and i want to understand everything from beginning...Thanks in advance

The Feynman lectures are a great place to start, I'd also recommend QED. For quantum mechanics I'd suggest A I M Rae's Quantum Mechanics.

You should try to learn graduate level spelling. (scnr)

If you understand more advanced mathematics then read the Feynman lectures, but read between the lines as you do so. Those lectures contain a great deal of what is known about physics when read in a sophisticated manner.

 

After that you are ready for advanced books on specialized topics in physics. There are a great many of those. A very good set are the several volumes on theoretical physics by Landau and Lifshitz. Goldstein's Classical Mechanics and Jackson's Classical Electrodynamics are well-known standard texts. Thirring has a nice series on mathematical physics. Gravitation by Misner, Thorne and Wheeler is an excellent treatment of general relativity. Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell by Zee is well regarded.

 

Those should keep you occupied for at least several weeks.
