"Astronomy is one of the few sciences in which amateurs play an active role. This is especially true for the discovery and observation of transient events. Amateur astronomers have helped with many important discoveries, such as finding new comets."

How can I start learning about astronomy as a hobby? What are some beginner level books I can read? I am tired of reading about deconstruction, duality and the humanities mumbo jumbo. I want to learn some hard science, and the stars have always fascinated me.
