Do you have a recommended reading list for books? I am right now reading your essay "How you know" and loving it.
Paul Halmos's autobiography, I Want to Be a Mathematician, is a very pleasing book. I don't understand all the math, but it's clear he'd be an amusing guy to know.

He was also a great expositor of mathematics. A difficult feat.

How is it different from the autobiography of another great in Hardy. His books was great and how do these two differ?

Sounds interesting! Hadn't heard about Paul Halmos until I read this tweet, but seems like an amusing guy to read given that: - Worked under John von Neumann - Invented the "iff" notation for "if and only if" - First to use the "tombstone" ∎ to signify end of proof

I love the title! An autoMATHography

The book made me smile so much. It really helps out those who want a career in not just math, but as a researcher in general. He was so accomplished so it was inspiring to hear him being so human and down to earth
