Hey chapos, several of you are math people, and I'm hoping to expand my more narrative math reading.
I've really enjoyed What is Mathematics, Really? by Rueben Hersch and Does God Play Dice? by Ian Stewart.
What else you got?

What else you got?
In the area of Philosophy of Mathematics, I have heard good things about Proofs and Refutations by Lakatos. (Pro-tip: if your local library doesn't have it available, archive.org is also a library for e-books!)
I'll take a look!
I don't do well with e-books, but have been pretty good at finding audiobooks for stuff. Though I am unsure how that would work for a math text, so...
But I also live in the Boston area, so it should be no challenge to find a library that has it. Rarely do I find books that are unavailable around here.
Oh, lol, I think I actually read it during grad school for education, or at least excerpts. I recognize the cover, now I'm gonna be on the hunt for it in my bookshelves.
