Hello,
I've recently became extremely interested in physics. I was originally hoping to do maths at university but now I'm also considering physics.
I'm looking for physics books that will help me broaden my knowledge and help me tackle difficult physics problems.
I hope to apply to Oxford. Here are some past papers.

http://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/PAT-2009-Paper.pdf
(Please look at the physics section - esp longer questions ; not maths section)
To make it short,
could you recommend me some books that will help me
1. broaden my knowledge. (General)
2. solve difficult questions (esp mechanics questions)
3. think critically
Thank you.P.S. is Thinking Physics by Epstein any good?
