Hmmm, can't think of one. There's a lot of freshman chemistry textbooks, but they're all pretty similar, and pretty boring.

Chemistry, the in-between science, doesn't really lend itself so easily to popularization as physics or biology. There's no deep principles, and no amazing phenomena, it's pretty much just stamp collecting.

Maybe somebody else will have some suggestions though?

Yeah that's the problem, they're all boring and don't lead to a bit of light reading after a hard day at work.
