There’s a 25th anniversary edition version of Brian Greene’s The Elegant Universe coming out. I devoured this book when it first came out and I still have not read an easier-to-understand summary of modern physics and quantum mechanics.

Do we really need to be reading about string theory at this point 25 years later, though? Seems like the consensus is that we're at a dead-end.
I recently read Sean Carroll’s book Something Deeply Hidden. I found it very approachable and the best quantum physics book I’ve read (as a very interested lay person. )
