Learning about geology?

Since my dad did his batchelor of science, i have picked up on a bit about rock formation and would like to learn more about it. one of the places i like to go is dorset, and they have a great jurassic coast line that i would love to explore more.ooopppss silly me, i would like to learn a bit out of general interest, and at some point in the not too distant future study it at some level.any decent books that go into the subject a bit, as i have an interest in science, i think i could pick up on some of the detailed stuff well
Answer
Any first year college book or earth science book would help. i have a degree in geology and i love it.
