Why Quark Rhymes with Pork: And Other Scientific Diversions by N. David Mermin
Why Quark Rhymes With Pork is a book I'd never have bought. But having read it, I think you should read it too.

Beyond the Galaxy: How Humanity Looked Beyond Our Milky Way and Discovered the Entire Universe by Ethan Siegel
In short, Ethan's book is the missing link between cosmology textbooks and popular science articles.

Impossibility: The Limits of Science and the Science of Limits by John D. Barrow
The book is well written, though not very inspired, and the scientific explanations are well referenced and, for all I can tell, flawless. I'd give four out of five stars if I had stars to give.
