Everything and More: A Compact History of Infinity
It inspired me to become a mathematician. Maybe not the most profound, but as far as mathematical books, it's still, to this day, the liveliest and most easily accessible book I've ever read.
For anyone interested in a lay explanation of set theory in a challenging (for laymen) but tremendously well written and engaging book, I'd recommend Everything and More by David Foster Wallace. I'm sure it's beneath most mathematicians, but I really loved it.
For people who want a good grasp of Cantor's idea in prose. I heartily recommend the book Everything and More by the incomparable David Foster Wallace.
Everything and More by David Foster Wallace. Just got back into calculus, mostly so I can have at least a literate understanding of it. Not sure how math majors feel about it.
