Relativity: The Special and General Theory - Albert Einstein

It was a thrill to read Einstein's actual (translated) words. He does a good job of describing mental pictures that help you visualize the concepts. However, I have to admit I kind of lost him on the mathematics. I'd have to read it again to have it all sink in. If you you're looking for something that's easy to understand, try Stephen Hawking's books and papers instead.
