Actual list:

Penrose's physics book
Feynmans lectures
Frege's foundations (phil of arithmetic)
Number Devil (lol this is srs)

Can list more if you want.
Do you mean textbooks, or books about mathematicians and history, or philosophy of maths?

Your comment about heterosexuality cast doubt on it, and like any mathematician I am distrustful of ambiguity. So I judged preferable to make your point clearer, even at the cost of making the joke more obvious in the process.

Next time be a bit more careful with your jokes in mathematical threads. I will be watching you.

i'm a little biased. you need to be doing math to appreciate it. so just read textbooks and do the exercises

Penrose is miles above Elon Musk. He’s also the only one with big enough balls to publicly think beyond the current fashions and trends. Also offers something that can be falsified and tested. His thoughts on conformal scaling and early entropy (as explained in closer to truth or on mindscape by Carroll) are pretty neat. Maybe he’s weird but personally I’d wish for more scientists to at least engage more with his model. He et al. claimed three sigma for the cmb rings coming from a prior eon. That’s something.

You mean it's hard to find in English or hard to understand? I've read the first 100 pages or so in French and it's very accessible, often almost convrsational in style.
Okay apparently it has not been translated into Engilsh. Maybe something to keep me busy for a while after I complete my PhD.

Unless you're reading the treatises and books for fun, learning math in a "/lit" way is very bad idea.

As an example, Kiselev's stellar geometry books cover much more ground than The Elements, and is just as elucidating in its explanations and proofs, with excellent problems to boot.
