Last week I got back to and finished Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth (concept & Story by Apostolos Doxiadis and Christos H. Papadimitriou, Script by Apostolos Doxiadis, Art by Alecos Papadatos, Color by Annie Di Donna). It's a mammoth sized graphic novel about the life and philosophical struggles of Bertrand Russell (344 pages with the included biographical snapshots of prominent mathematicians & philosophers). Special attention is paid to the relationship of genius and madness (often a fine line apparently) in logisticians.

This is the first graphic novel to ever make me question my basic assumptions about logic, and I know of few better recommendations of any book than that it makes you think.
