Yellow - the color of math books

In summary: I have almost never read a book front to back, and the extremely few I have almost read fully are probably no longer on my shelf, since I have finished with them, e.g. Spivak Calculus. I dip into books at a section that interests me and try to understand that, most recently the chapter on the lie bracket in Spivak's Differential Geometry.

What are the others?

I don't have them in front of me, but at least one was a book on logic, and by a different author! I think the other was a linear algebra book.
I also found one online just now called "zen physics," whatever that means. I know I had another that WAS an actual zen book, but that is not apropos of our discussion unless we really want to go on a tangent.
