What is your level of education? Are you comfortable with
calculus?

The FAQ website for this newsgroup is:
URL:http://hermes.physics.adelaide.edu.au/~dkoks/Faq/

I personally recommend "Spacetime Physics" by Taylor and Wheeler.
That will get your feet wet in Special Relativity, and has some
exercises to get you familiar with concepts.

What is your expectation?
