Books on fun and interesting math not normally learnt in the classroom, and also requiring a fair amount of mathematical maturity (advanced undergrad for example). So no pop-math books.
An example would be the topics explored in PBS' Infinite Series youtube channel

I recently ordered Conway's Numbers and Games, and I believe that fits the bill.

>The book extends the high school curriculum and provides a backdrop for later study in calculus, modern algebra, numerical analysis, and complex variable theory. Exercises introduce many techniques and topics in the theory of equations, such as evolution and factorization of polynomials, solution of equations, interpolation, approximation, and congruences. The theory is not treated formally, but rather illustrated through examples. Over 300 problems drawn from journals, contests, and examinations test understanding, ingenuity, and skill. Each chapter ends with a list of hints; there are answers to many of the exercises and solutions to all of the problems. In addition, 69 "explorations" invite the reader to investigate research problems and related topics.
