Hello
I'm a physics major freshman. And I want to know about Quantum physics and relativity
But It takes to long to learn this subject in my college.
I read book "Feynman Lectures on Physics" and I was fascinated .
So I want to know about this kinds of Books. But I don't know about many physics books.
So Please recommend me books like Feynman Lectures on Physics.
I tried to read "Road to Reality" But I'm not good at math. So I gave up.

Sorry for my poor English.
