Physics Textbook for A High School Student

In summary, the speaker is 17 years old and interested in physics. They are studying Leonard Susskind lectures and are currently on Lecture 2. They are looking for textbook recommendations, preferably in simple English, and have also been reading books about physics but find them too simple. They are considering getting Susskind's books on Classical Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics, which are meant to reeducate people who have previously taken physics courses.

If you're watching the Susskind videos then you should consider getting his two books on Classical Mechanics and on Quantum Mechanics. Remember though that Susskind has said these are theoretical minimum that one must know to learn physics. Also they are different from high school physics in that his goal is to reeducate people who have taken college physics or related courses in the past and now would really like to learn it again ie they had calculus but have forgotten much of it...
