Hee hee, I love space books too. I'm totally into relativity, quantum physics, black holes, and string theory, so long as it is dumbed down to my level. "The Elegant Universe" is about string theory, and it's very accessible. Supposedly "real" physicists hate the author because he's like the cheap suit, used car salesman of string theory. But he's the only one us normal folks can understand.

The "Best American Science Writing" series is excellent, they do a digest of science articles every year. I personally think it's way better than "Best of Science and Nature Writing", so make sure you look at the right title if you check it out at amazon.
