What are your favorite math texts?

As a math teacher I am always interested in new books, I have currently finished "The Joy of X" and "The Code Book" and found them extremely interesting. What books have you read, that involves mathematics?

"Proofs from the Book" Volume 1 (and 2). Some of the mathematical ideas are hard, and the book presents a very clear exposition that illustrates the important approaches used to solve the problems.

"Through Genius the Great Theorems of Mathematics" by Dunham is a great read.

I recently read "Chaos" by James Gleick. It was really readable, had good diagrams, and lots of recent history with the math.
