There is so much there, and it is all presented in way that you can understand it and marvel. So many things I wish I had learned somewhere between high school and my math ph.d. are in there. Skeleton Key of Mathematics by Littlewood. Would never have understood p-adic numbers at all without it. Winning Ways for Your Mathematical Plays Conway, Berlekamp, and Guy. An intense level of ideas, methods, and questions presented in such a lively way. It brings me back and makes me dream about math research. Concrete Mathematics Graham, Knuth, Patashnik. Deep stuff, Hard stuff, important stuff with again, a lively presentation. These probably don’t count, but I do read them again and again and enjoy them tremendously:
