Here I want Moved to collect a list of recommended reading for people interested in maths.
Part of the problem is that there are books *about* maths, and books to *learn* maths,
and books to *learn*about* maths, /etc./ So how to arrange this?
I'm interested in suggestions as to how to curate this, and make it easier for people
to find a good recommendation for them.
However, to start, here are some books:
