Book on computer hardware?

Alright, so basically I'm looking for a book that goes into decent detail on the internal functioning of computer hardware. I don't mean like "the RAM stores memory, the CPU does calculations" etc. I mean, deeper. On the level of circuits and such.
I understand the basics, a current and how that translates to boolean logic, but beyond that I don't know a whole lot. It's a broad field, but I'd like something that kind of gets under the skin. The internet has been surprisingly lacking (or at least, what I've dug up.) I'm a (hobbyist) programmer so I understand the software side fairly well, but I'd like to get deeper into hardware. I'm comfortable with math, but I'd sort of like something more towards the layman, not necessarily a text-book.
Thanks.

If you are so hungry about this stuff, Computer Science could fill all your questions.
