Have you read The Black Hole Wars a book about the debate between Hawking and Susskind of what happens to matter that falls into a black hole:

Another would be Susskinds latest books: The Theoretical Minimum: Classical Mechanics and his second on Quantum Mechanics

He actually gets into the math and theory but at a minimum level of understanding.
