Good science books

I applaud you for your interest in Physics. I have just recently graduated from college with my Physics degree. I have to tell you something unfortunate, though- now that I have my degree, I have more questions about Physics than I did before I started! It seems that this quest for understanding won't be solved in just four years. I guess it will take a lifetime... :-) But maybe that's a benefit! I guess it depends on how you look at it.
Anyway, the books that you listed are excellent places to start. But let me suggest that in order to continue on, you must first bring your math skills up to par. Without a full and comprehensive mastery of scalar and vector calculus, you cannot begin to take part in Physics, you will always have to rely on popular authors to tell you what it's like.
So again, I have bittersweet advice for you- before you will be able to really learn whatquantum mechanics says, you must first exert yourself in hours of painstaking study to master the tools. Ditto that for cosmology. And before you do any of the cool stuff, you will also need to understand Newtonian Mechanics, which sounds impressive, but when you're learning it seems tedious.

But don't despair! If you are truly excited by science and the thrill of discovery, then if you add commitment and discipline to your native curiousity, you may someday become a great scientific explorer yourself!

Now that I have given all of the warnings and motivational speeches and stuff, I will also give you some practical advice:
There are many different fields in physics, each with their own prerequisites. Here's my quick guide to what little I know-
Newtonian Mechanics- pretty much everybody starts here. You need to learn the concepts of force, energy, momentum precisely (which is to say mathematically) in the everyday intuitive world so that you can then start to understand what they might mean in terms of supermassive black holes and quantum mechanics. There are innumerable college textbooks on this and they are expensive (in your terms) when purchased new. Hint- find a chapter of the Society for Physics Students (SPS) in your area and ask them for some old textbooks. They should be glad to give you your weight in books. Note- almost all of these books are total garbage, high school books doubly so. The problem is that publishers put so many glossy pictures and diagrams in them and make them so user friendly that you can hardly find the physics in all the noise. But everybody has to start somewhere, and this is the beginning of the path. However, there is one little book that I absolutely rave about: go look up "physics as a second language" on amazon or something and get yourself a copy. You will want to learn calculus as soon as possible, by the way, but there are versions of this book for algebra students. If you have money to burn, the actual textbook to learn Newtonian mechanics is called "Analytical Mechanics" by Fowles and Cassiday, but like most real books, it's upwards of $100. This is what you'll want after you've got a basic grasp of the intro level books and want to go back and learn everything properly.
