The list of **"Must-Read" Science Books**... Plz suggest

Hi all. I am a first semester engineering student in India. I wish to know about the best books there are in science [especially physics]. I am reading Feynman lectures and erwin kreyszig- advanced engineering mathematics right now. The other books that i am reading are of Indian authors. Please suggest the best that you have come across. It wud be appreciated if they are related to engineering or modern physics.

Thank you.

Your question is kinda general since I don't know what kind of engineering you do.
For mechanical there are a couple of good thermo fluids books:

Fundamental of heat and mass transfer, Incropera et al.
Thermodynamics, Cengel & Boles

These books are the result of many revisions and are easy to read and give you the fundamental in the topic

I also really like John, D Anderson's aerodynamics book.

If you want to be an electrical engineer these won't help you out too much.
