I also brought this question up on the <a href="http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.php?topic=917" rel="nofollow">message board</a> of the Mathematics group on LibraryThing, and the one answer so far as recommended <i>Calculus and Pizza</i>. And yes, Stevey's awesome. :) I think I'm going to put together a list of must-read articles, including a lot of Paul Graham's stuff and much of what Joel Spolsky included in his <i>Best Software Writing</i> book. (Incidentally, on Joel's blog the other day he said he's not going to compile a sequel, primarily because 50% of the nominations were for Stevey. :)) I ordered Jan Gullberg’s Mathematics: From the Birth of Numbers (one of the books Stevey ordered), so we’ll see how that goes.

Isn't he a great writer? Anyhow, I'm not sure where to start either. I'm asking around. Let me know if you get any good ideas. Yep, that post got me going on a math kick too. Isn’t he a great writer?
