Inorganic and Physical Chemistry

[danago]

Hey.
Next semester i plan on taking a unit on inorganic and physical chemistry. At the moment my collection of chemistry textbooks is a bit miserable (consisting of only my high school chem book) so id like to add to it. I will purchase whatever textbook is required for the course, but i always like to have supplementary material for extra study and extra questions, and seeing as I am most probably going to be majoring in chemical engineering, I am sure they will come in handy as references later down the track.

Does anybody have any recommendations? I have heard a few good comments about Linus Pauling's "General Chemistry", so that's one i'll consider, but open to all suggestions.

Thanks,
Dan.

I used Zumdahl for AP chem, and my cousin used the same text at UPenn when he did his undergrad degree.

I know it's not related to the topic, but definitely Carey's Organic. Morrison and Boyd are cool too.
