Good mechanics text for self-study

[AndreGoran]

I am in my final year of a physics degree and have taken all the undergraduate mechanics available in the department, but I don't have a really solid understanding of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics. Does anyone have a recommendation for a mechanics book which is comprehensible for self-study? If you recommend a book and can think of a math book which compliments it well please also mention that.

The classical text for this is Goldstein, Classical Mechanics. If you like a more mathematical treatment, I'd recommend Arnold, Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics.
