Well, do you want books about math, or books that teach you math? :)

There's the Erdo"s book:

/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/103-5283354-4700621

This is good:

Well you could learn calculus, linear algebra, etc. But this would
require doing "homework" like things. (Booring.) So you might be
better off with a discrete math book covering things remotely useful
to your life, such as things to do with combinatoric theory. I really
can't give a good book reference other than that really huge book
in barnes&noble that I can barely lift that talks about everything in
math.
