Howdy /sci/,

Im looking to get into solid state physics and am looking for a good textbook for self study. I really dont want to use Kittel's since i've always heard bad things about it. I wouldnt mind Ashcroft & Mermin but it does seem dated.

So my question is if my ultimate goal is to modern topics like superconductivity, graphene, carbon nanotube and simlare topics, is there a better more modern textbook to use or should i just use A & M and then another book for the modern shiznit.

Also, i dont want the book to skip any important math, i would like to see as many full derivations and proofs as possible.
Thanks /sci/
