Just finished 'The Music of the Primes' by Marcus du Sautoy, maths professor and fellow of All Souls' college. It's about the Riemann hypothesis, its implications, and the people that have worked on it. Unlike many 'popular' scientists, du Sautoy writes like a dream, and he knows how to tell a gripping story. I'm no maths geek but I found myself getting up early to read this. Highly recommended.
