A great biography with enough technical overview on geometry to whet your whistle. It's not a sensational airport-bookstore sort of biography, which I guess at least one reviewer here prefers, but I found it engaging, enlightening and a joy to read. It spawned many side trips to Wikipedia for further exploration, and I checked out a copy of one of Coxeter's books to see how different classical geometry is from the analytical geometry I took in 8th grade.
