Is it worth taking the textbook by Jay Orier “Physics. Full course: examples, tasks, solutions”?
I got very excited and decided to start studying physics from scratch. I went to chitai-gorod the other day and found this textbook there: https://www.chitai-gorod.ru/catalog/book/904792/
Is it worth it? And if not, what would you recommend? I'm in the 11th grade, but I know relatively little.
Large volumes of text do not scare, on the contrary, I want to find something with the largest amount of material, and, most importantly, to be substantive.
Thanks in advance.

Feynman Lectures on Physics.
Orira certainly is worth it, I have this book of 1964 edition, he has a fascinating presentation of the basics of physics. And suffice it to say that he was a student of Enrico Fermi.
It all depends on the answer to the question ... will you need it in the foreseeable future, or is there just nothing to kill time now? If the latter, then start with school textbooks for previous classes))
Kogan (B.Yu.) taught us at the institute and published good problem books.

I support your decision. Competent, systematic and fascinating presentation of the material. As an alternative, I recommend another book by J. Orier: Popular Physics. For your purpose, a more concise version is more appropriate. Thanks to this book, I became interested in the subject from the 7th grade of school and was an annual participant and, sometimes, a winner of city physics Olympiads (Moscow). Without difficulty he entered and successfully graduated from MEPhI.
