I just read Jordan Ellenberg's How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking, and greatly enjoyed it. Ellenberg has a good writing style, a nice way with humor, and tells some good stories and draws relationships among them as he surveys subdisciplines. If you're wondering if this could be for you, probably the last book I read in this general area was Nate Silver's The Signal and the Noise, but I thought this was better.
