"Physics for the Inquiring Mind: The Methods, Nature, and Philosophy of Physical Science" by Eric M. Rogers is a superb book for a teenager. It doesn't overwhelm the reader with esoteric mathematics and provides a very solid foundation which is often missing in so many books. Expensive at about 60 dollars , I found a copy for 15 dollars, so seek young man and ye shall find!

On Amazon: Physics for the Inquiring Mind

Similarities in Physics - John Northrup Shive and Robert Weber is another great book for showing the interconnectedness in physics and basic ideas ranging from Simple Harmonic Motion, Heat, Noise etc. Actually I think this is one of the great and unknown pedagogical books for physics and it's free here. you really can't go wrong reading that one.

If you like a laugh and the kooky then try Macschrödinger's Cat - Jim O'Brien also at Amazon, but don't read this one for insight or learning, read this one just to stretch your mind.

Even if it doesn't answer your question directly i think these videolectures are a great place to start and really motivating (and for free):

Solution 3

It is not a physics books, though this book will make you a physics lover.

Surely You are joking Mr. Feynman

If you can get books for highschool that would be a good start, don't rush yourself, learning physics takes time and hard work.

    List of good classical physics books

    my name is Bruno Alano. As stated in the title, I'm 15 years old (I'll do 16 on 7 of Feb) and much love Computer Science (C, C++), Mathematics and Physics.

    Some information may have been unnecessary, but my question is: What is the suggestion of a good physics book for a teenager of my age? I know basic things (speed, shoveller these issues and basic primary and secondary).

    A good reason for this is my Awe in mathematics and physics. Besides that maybe one day be useful in what I really want a career (science or computer engineering).

    And another question: It is interesting physics in the area I want to go? I'm at an age that would be good to learn beyond what is taught in common schools?
