What should I read about general relativity?

I am a physicist, but I never had a real course on general relativity. I know special relativity, of course. What book would you recommend as in introduction for rainy weekends?





I don't mind mathematics. Just, it would be nice if it's fun reading, too, but only hand-waving is not enough.


I already know special relativity, of course. I just don't know anything about gravity beyond Newton's law.


|||Gravitation - Misner Throne %26amp; Wheeler


General Relativity - Ward


General Theory of Relativity - Dirac





I like the first one the best.


It certainly can't be accused of being hand wavy!
