The Story of Geometry from Parallel Lines to Hyperspace
Leonard Mlodinow
I've always considered myself a math retard (cant do anything more complicated than algebra) and I try to avoid math stuff because I never felt I 'got it'.
However, while reading this book, I kept finding myself saying "Why didn't they tell me this stuff in high school and college? It would have made things so much easier to understand."
And while you might think that any book about mathmatics/geometry must be pretty boring, I actually found this book hard to put down - its under 300 pages and I had read most of it in three days.
