I have been reading:
>Mathematical Recreations And Essays
Early 1900s book about various maths problems and anecdotes about studying maths at Cambridge. Its age makes it really interesting. For example, the book states that the 4-colour island problem is 'solvable, but so laboriously so that it will likely never be done'. In the 1970s, the four-colour problem became the first ever problem to be solved by a computer.
I have also been reading Binney's 'The Physics of Quantum Mechanics', which is basically pure maths. I am finding it very tough but it is very interesting and I recommend it if you are looking for a quantum mechanics starter.

Last math book I read was "Logic: A Very Short Introduction" by Graham Priest. A short but good read, I want to get more into logic tho. I'm also interested in topology, geometry and algebra.

>>228If you like logic, you should check out Lewis Carroll's Game of Logic.
