I suggest you go ahead and read Joys of Chemistry(along with this month's book). I wish someone would have showed me this book when I was in school. Better late than never.
Joy of Chemistry by Cathy Cobb is a great primer.

Uncle Tungsten by Oliver Sacks is a great read if you want to geek out on chemistry among a bunch of factoids (as opposed to a cohesive pedagogy)
I've never had the willpower to just sit there and read a college textbook. Textbooks are really meant to accompany lecture and lab instruction.
