What are some pieces of literature that you would give to a new physicist about Black Holes?

A friend I know has recently got an interest into the theoretical of Black holes and I wanted to recommend some literature on Black Holes. Since I mainly work in the field of mathematics and computer science, I wanted someone else's recommendations.

 

So, can anyone give a list of recommendations of literature for new physicists about Black Holes?

How new is new?

 

The trouble is that beyond popular science accounts most of the literature on black holes is aimed at at least graduate students. With that in mind, assuming your friend knows very little about GR I suggest the lecture notes by Carroll. You can find them on the arXiv.
