Can't let the day pass without acknowledging that Martin Gardner died one year ago today.
My single favorite book of his (and it's hard to choose) is still his older essay collection, "The Night Is Large," but for sheer fun, the compendium of his recreational math writings, "The Colossal Book of Mathematics" probably can't be beat.
All his books at Amazon here:

His memories spread across the mathscape.....
