>>12157526That can be a good analysis, however, it's probably not the most adequate conclusion. My personal recommendation to OP would be to study books that can provide as much fun as possible. In other words, books that have a lot of historical motivation, (e.g. A book of abstract algebra, Analysis by its history) books that have difficult creative exercises, (e.g. Concrete Mathematics, Real Mathematical Analysis), books that ask you to come up with the theory on your own, (e.g. Aha! Insight) or that ask you to come up with some parts of the theory (e.g. Combinatorics through guided discovery, Linear Algebra Problem Book) books that show the process behind mathematical discovery (Proofs and Refutations, How to Solve it) books that leisurely build to the abstract (e.g. Abel's Theorem in Problems and Solutions) and even better with many weird examples (e.g. The Fascination of Groups, Counterexamples in topology) books that tell you about the topic in a brief way (like say a book for the layman) (e.g. From Geometry to Topology), unconventional books with a lot of philosophy (e.g. Probability Theory: The Logic of Science), books that are intuitive in the visual way (e.g. Visual Complex Analysis, Visual Group Theory, A topological Picturebook) Challenging books with little to no motivation (Foundations of Modern Analysis, Finite Dimensional Vector Spaces) Books that have drawings that feel more poetic than illustrative (e.g. Mathematical Impressions), etc.
