Tons. Are you looking for popular level books, or perhaps introductory texts? Are you comfortable with math and physics?

I'm almost completely new to both the topics.
So should I start off with introductory texts, or can I go straight into popular level books?

Yes, I'm comfortable with both of those.

For astronomy, I'd recommend Universe: Stars and Galaxies by Freedman & Kaufmann (latest 4th edition is 2010; but an older edition should still be sufficiently up to date for your purposes if you can find one cheaper. It has perhaps the best overview of important topics in astronomy I've seen in an introductory text.
