Could anyone suggest a book that I could read to learn about the
Riemann zeta function? I have done a lot of rigorous undergraduate
coursework in mathematics (including real, complex, and functional
analysis), and I want to eventually understand applications of number
theory and the Riemann zeta function to mathematical physics.

Google using ' "zeta function" physics ' gives a lot and gives
you a start for free (and may be you ask your teachers as well),

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_zeta_function#Applications
is one and a bit below you find the variant called 'Lerch Phi'
which gives you another search term (but being not from Physics).

or http://www.esi.ac.at/activities/archive/zetaconf98.html, to
be a start for names and themes

If you use the Amazon advanced search to find books with "Riemann Zeta"
in the title you'll get a number of hits, several with customer reviews.
