Comment: Fundamentals is a bit watered down... (Score 2, Informative) 276
I would go for an older edition (e.g. the 4th edition) of H&R's Physics, rather than the watered down Fundamentals of Physics.
I would recommend any of the books by A. P. French in the MIT Physics series. These are all beautifully done and very readable.
Also, the Berkeley Physics series is good.
And the Feynman Lectures are essential.
