Outside the Light novels i don't read that much.
From my middle school days it would be discworld series by terry prachett
And more recent one:

Remind me, did you read Tearmoon Empire? I often thought that the first volumes had often a very Pratchett-esque wit.
I wonder though if University Physics has the same way with words… ;)
Yes, I did.
It would be certainly an adventure to read discworld in English instead of my native language.
Looking through that table of contents, that textbook covers a lot of ground. When I did undergrad, waves and oscillations were kept out of the intro course and held back until the second year Mechanics course (iirc, I don't have my first-year textbook any longer). This was mainly because they are easier to work with mathematically if you are already familiar with differential equations. Looking briefly at the damped oscillations chapter (15.6), they get around not learning differential equations by simply presenting a solution (eg 15.28) and having the reader verify that it works.
Are you pursuing physics? As somebody with a Physics PhD, I rarely come across others in the field (I now work in pharma, so mainly deal with biochem and chemical engineers).
Sadly or gladly I dropped out depending on the viewpoint.
The professor sometimes got different flow of topics depending on the demand. The three volumes would be covered in my would be engineering degree.
