Thread 'I would like to get recommendations for graduate level physics books'

I got a bachelor in physics 11 years ago, and I did not continue my studies. I have now decided to embark on a complete review of undergraduate physics, on my own, as a hobby. I have chosen 7 books for this purpose: Mary Boas: mathematical methods in the physical sciences John Taylor: classical mechanics Daniel Schroeder: thermal physics David Griffiths: introduction to electrodynamics David Griffiths: introduction to quantum mechanics David Griffiths: introduction to elementary...
