God Created the Integers (edited by Stephen Hawking)
God Created the Integers - Wikipedia
I would not recommend this book. It is tough going. I read about a chapter a month then put it away.
Bestselling author and physicist Stephen Hawking explores the "masterpieces" of mathematics, 25 landmarks spanning 2,500 years and representing the work of 15 mathematicians, including Augustin Cauchy, Bernard Riemann, and Alan Turing. This extensive anthology allows readers to peer into the mind of genius by providing them with excerpts from the original mathematical proofs and results. It also helps them understand the progression of mathematical thought, and the very foundations of our present-day technologies. Each chapter begins with a biography of the featured mathematician, clearly explaining the significance of the result, followed by the full proof of the work, reproduced from the original publication.

Journey Through Genius (The Great Theorems of Mathematics) by William Dunham
I heartily recommend this book. It is an easy read, plus it is online.

Edit: PS Buy a copy and help the guy out. I have bought and given away 5 or 6 copies to 7th graders to High Schoolers.

This book gives a comprehensive history of how Christianity actually began and became the religion it is today.
Just finished this:
If it's like most of the other Dennett books I've read, I will pull it back off my shelf in another year and read it again. And then again the following year. And perhaps again a fourth time. And maybe by then I'll have fully wrapped my head around what he's trying to say.

Then I will hold off on giving away anything.
I’m on last 150 or so pages.

just ordered hellfire the jerry lee lewis bio by nick tosches, i hope it's as good as his other book the devil and sonny liston
A very ad hoc book to this website, and while it's only 144 pages, I bet you'll feel proud to be a bassist when you finish reading it. Btw, you can read it in a lot of languages it's been translated into.
You're welcome.
Not reading anything right now - other than this thread.
I started writing a book re: what I learned about software development over the last 45 years.
