I'm not talking about textbooks, but science/math books of interest to the general reader with some knowledge of the subject (because of college level science/math education or because of pure interest in the subject) , it could also be biographies of scientists/mathematicians that touch on some of their theories, etc.
Just started reading Sylvia Nasar's "A Beautiful Mind" about John Nash. Don't know if its good, will know soon.
I just finished Antonio Damasio's "Looking for Spinoza" and thought it was very interesting, though I guess the theories might have already been discredited considering the book's been around for so many years... I remember reading all of Carl Sagan's books when I was a kid and thought I wanted to do astronomy in future, and recently am rekindling that love for reading some of these math/science books again. But I don't really like reading the hard stuff unless its for exams.
