Yes -- anything by Smullyan is a pleasure to read. I think much of it is out of print, but should still be findable. "Lady or the Tiger" and "Satan, Cantor, and Infinity" were both good reads. "Alice," as well.
…市面上的其他东西。《数学大书》（The Colossal Book of Mathematics）很适合一次性打包看个够。《夜深得很》（The Night is Large）也很赞，但数学比重没那么高。我还没看到有人推荐斯穆里安。《美女还是老虎？》我认为是经典之作，但我真的很喜欢《永远未决》。
…else out there. The Colossal Book of Mathematics is a good way to get a lot in one place. The Night is Large is also great but less math-focused. I don't see any recommendations for Smullyan yet. The Lady or the Tiger is the classic I think, but I really loved Forever Undecided.

The Raymond Smullyan puzzle books might work. I think the first part of The Lady or the Tiger might be fun. To Mock A Mockingbird might work too, but the initial learning curve might be too steep. The Island of Knights and Knaves part could work. Satan, Cantor and Infinity has some good parts,…
…Peterson 的《数学游客》，Davis 和 Hersh 的《数学经验》，波利亚的《怎样解题》，Huff 的《统计陷阱》，McGervey 的《日常生活中的概率》，雷蒙·斯穆里安的《美女还是老虎？》、《爱丽丝漫游谜题国》等等。马丁·加德纳的任何书都行。我刚好收了《数学魔术秀》和《数学马戏团》，但我敢说肯定还有很多别的选集。我也推荐…

是的——斯穆里安的任何作品读起来都是一种享受。我觉得他的大部分书都绝版了，但应该还是能找到的。《美女还是老虎？》和《撒旦、康托尔与无穷》读起来都很棒。《爱丽丝》也是。

…猝不及防。那一刻我相信任何事都有可能发生。我同意了打赌。> 他让我闭上眼睛，亲了下我的脸颊，笑着说：“我输了。”而《美女还是老虎？》序言里的这段话恰如其分地概括了大多数人对数学的态度：> 在把男孩叫来接电话之前，父亲压低声音像密谋似地对我说：“他正在读你的书，而且喜欢得不行！但当你…

雷蒙·斯穆里安的谜题书可能合适。我觉得《美女还是老虎？》的第一部分应该挺有意思。《仿效知更鸟》也行，但刚开始的门槛可能有点太陡了。“骑士与无赖之岛”那部分应该不错。《撒旦、康托尔与无穷》里也有一些出彩的内容，…
