pop physics

[rm]

Hey y'all, I'm an idiot at physics (the only science that seriously, seriously stymied me in school, which is a pity, since I rock at math), but want to read some "pop physics" type crap, probably on string theory type stuff. Recommendations?

It's been awhile since I read them, but I remember Kaku as being more whimsical -- maybe less nuts and bolts, but more daydreaming about what the possibilities could be. Greene was good, too, though. They both do a great job of writing the layspeak, and keeping it all interesting...it's just the Hyperspace seems more memorable.
