I wanna prepare myself for my interviews for a degree in physics at english universities, what books should i read?

Ive already decided to order Feynman lectures Vol II & III, Relativity: The special and general theory (albert einstein), Cosmos (carl sagan), Flatland (Edwin Abbott), Cycles of time (Roger penrose) and emperors new mind (roger penrose).
along with those ive already read the first volume of the feynman lectures and Nothing: a very short introduction and i am currently reading the road to reality by roger penrose.

I should also mention that i am a fast reader, so the more relevant books, the better.

You shouldn't be reading any of that shit.
What you should be reading is a undergrad physics first year textbook.

The Feynman Lectures were undergrad first year lectures.

What you should be doing is inventing a time machine and going back 6 months so you actually stand a chance. No doubt you're applying for Oxbridge or something... good luck with that if you're only starting to prepare now and still have no idea what you're doing.

why do you keep bumping these?

type "sage" in the email field when you post so that this cancer doesn't stay on the front page, you hypocrite.

Why Flatland? It's more of a critique of Victorian-era social stratas than anything.
