I'm going to count this as read, because I did read the whole thing, although there were large chunks that I didn't understand. I'll try again someday, and hopefully get more of it.

I wish I had read this book the first time that I saw it, when I was 12 years old. It is a wonderful survey of a lot of the fields of modern mathematics. It’s fairly accessible.
