What do guys (and girls) think about Halliday-Resnick? Is it better than Sears and Zemansky's? I wouldn't mind too much calculus in an introductory book (I know it's going to be basic). I was thinking of getting Halliday-Resnick as a book to use along side a physics course I'm taking for extra practice, and I had a bit of extra money that I could use.
