I'm not a big Hawking fan, but some people are. Some great introductory particle physics books I have read lately are:

The Lightness of Being

and

Understanding the Universe: From Quarks to the Cosmos

which would you recommend I read first?

I'd say the second one is probably better read first. The first one deals a lot more with QED. While they are both definitely readable by a 'layperson' (I read both with no problem), the second one is a more general intro to particle physics.
