Hello guys! :)
Just read Stphen Hawking's A Brief History Of Time and i really loved it.
I am a second year university student and I am from Greece.
I study computer science but i am into physics as well. :)

I would like to hear your suggestions about any good physics book i should check out next.
I really liked the string theory and it sounds interesting so I'd like to find out some more.

Thank you for your time guys. :)

I'd recommend pretty much everything Hawking has written.

Read the nature of space and time... it's 3 lectures each given by hawking and penrose in writing format... pretty interesting stuff... however... i havn't read a brief history of time... the nature of space and time is an incredibly indepth book with the math and physics part... but is very interesting

A brief history of time isn't too in depth -- if you really want to learn, Brian Greene or Richard Feynman books are amazing; though may not have AS much about black holes as Stephen Hawking books might.
