Advancing Your Physics Knowledge: Recommended Books

In summary, there are various introductory books recommended for learning physics, including "Fundamentals of Physics" by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker, "University Physics" by Young and Freedman, and "Concepts of Modern Physics" by Arthur Beiser. There are also books that focus on specific branches of physics, such as "Classical Mechanics" by John R. Taylor, "Introduction to Electrodynamics" by David J. Griffiths, and "Quantum Mechanics" by Albert Messiah. For advanced topics, "The Feynman Lectures on Physics" by Richard Feynman, "Statistical Mechanics" by R.K. Pathria, and "Introduction to Solid State Physics" by Charles Kittel are recommended.

I finished my first semester of physics and calc, and now that I have a brief intoduction to physics I think I can handle reading a little more advanced phy book.. Are there any good phy books that anyone can recommend?
