radxAlex Bellos' book "Here's looking at Euclid" is rather entertaining and was recommended to me on VS a few years ago.

If you find this stuff interesting, check out a book called "Here's looking at Euclid" by Alex Bellos. It's full of all sorts of weird math related things. Tricks, history and cultural diffrences in mathematics. I'm about halfway through it and it's pretty cool.
