Math books worth the bother
Here is a hopefully-to-be-seldom–updated (since I’ve only read parts of the books on this list, and intend to finish all of them at some point) list of math books that I think are very original, very thorough, or in general, worth the bother of attempting to read. Which is a rare thing indeed.

You are right, Linear Algebra Done Right is a great book. It along with Lax gives a great amount
of knowledge. However, what is this second book you speak of, Even More Linear Algebra done Right?
I cannot find that anywhere.

You’re right, there doesn’t seem to be a sequel. I must have gotten the editions
confused. Too bad. Maybe I’m thinking of another book, because I could have sworn I heard
something to that effect. And here I was looking forward to more linear algebra goodness…
I’ll have to check out Lax.
