For an exceedingly well written intro to crypto I'd recommend The Code Book: The Secret History of Codes and Code-breaking by Simon Singh

When I got around to a final year security comp sci module it turned out that most of the information had been covered in The code book.

Awesome, I'll be checking this out for sure. I recently began studying computer security; do you have any more recommendations?

Bruce Schneier's Applied Cryptography is a classic and his other books are also recommended.
