Can't you get a bible for free?

My campus only has the NIV version I think. I want the King James Version. If you can find a place that will give it out for free, I'll get it there.

The Elegant Universe is fantastic, that's a great choice.

I would also recommend The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan and Why People Believe Weird Things by Michael Shermer.
Also, The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde.

I've read The Demon Haunted World, and I'm actually not a fan of Michael Shermer, even though I agree with him on almost everything. I don't know why.

I'll just read the Oscar Wilde one online. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Ah, fair enough. The Oscar Wilde one I do recommend quite heavily as it's hilarious. Hope you enjoy it!

+1 for God's Debris.
I think it can be found for free online though?

History is often a boring read, but not this book, maybe the best book about historical events I've ever read.
