Unfortunately, I can’t really afford to go to university at the moment but I still want to learn as much as I can about the bone structures, muscle fibres, nutrition, how the nervous system reacts to exersize, ect…
Can anybody recommend me anything I can go find at a book store?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Why go to the bookstore? There’s plenty of info and books available online for free. Here’s a website I stumbled upon a while back that has a lot of good resources, including video and audio recordings of college courses. I haven’t tried any of those yet, so I can’t tell how the quality is or anything, but there’s definitely some good stuff here:

Wow, that’s amazing. Thanks dude!
Though I still do want some books (I have a huge shelf of books and I like to add to it, don’t ask me why)
Any other suggestions?
i would buy used books off ebay. Start with intro stuff. What makes it really interesting is that they come with cd’s of interactive software, online video, Thats really cool. If your really keen you can walk into some universities during the day and sit in on lectures.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybulding
Hands down the best “Muscle and Fitness” book I have ever read.
