The Golden Ratio: The Story of PHI, the World's Most Astonishing Number is an utter crap as hinted by a presence of a word "astonishing" in its title. I couldn't get past first 10 pages, it is really really bad. It is basically full of pearls like "if we subtract the weight of an electron from a diameter of an average donut and compensate for Thursday, we'll get the fifth digit of Phi. Isn't it amazing. Phi is everywhere."
Numbers and Geometry by John Stillwell is very readable and full of very interesting math problems, covering a lot of topics that are accessible to anyone with a good high school education but often aren't covered even by an undergraduate math degree.
An interesting list, but I'll wait to see the reviews. "A list of books I am currently reading" is quite a different beast than "A list of books I have read, and recommend."
