Anyone know any good books on quantum physics?

I have read only one book on theoretical quantum physics as my point of interest is in parallel universes and bubble universe theory. I have only taken general ed. physics so don't refer anything that will go completely over my head. Oh and if you know any other awesome physics theories please let me know.

I have recently read "A Brief History of Time" and "The Universe in a Nutshell" both by world-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking. They are on Einstein's Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, but they're fairly easy to follow, given the complexity of the subject. I enjoyed them.

My one year at graduate school at University of Texas @ Austin, I took a Quantum Mechanics class from Doctor Arno Bohm. His course was taught with HIS book. Although I made virtually no effort in the class, thus I didn't learn ANYTHING, looking @ the book both to study for tests/answer hw questions was VERY useful. I am actually trying to read it now. I think it's a very "from the ground up" explanation of Quantum Mechanics. It requires the notion of spaces, algebras, and linear operators (to be concise, we further limit to "Hermitian" operators), so the Math is ALL there...and is presented in the FIRST chapter...for reference.

So I think...the name of the book is "Quantum Mechanics"

But if you "Amazon" Arno Bohm, you will find the book I'm talking about...

...yep, the name is "Quantum Mechanics", I think it's a great book.
