[CALIBK12] Math reading books for High School (not textbooks)

[Marie Slim]

Hello all!
   
  I've got a teacher request for more math fiction and math non-fiction (but not textbook-type stuff).  I've got a few of the ones from the CDE's Math and Science Literature list (http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/sc/ll/).  These include Flatland, Proof, Once Upon a Number, etc.  I've got a few, (and I just got The Number Devil), but can you recommend any other math fiction or non-fiction book at the high school/adult level that students might enjoy?  Even if the books are on the CDE list, I'd like to read any and all recommendations.
   
  Thank you,
