You'd truly enjoy the opening chapter of "Beyond Numeracy' by John

I'm very certain that you'd understand it, and only slightly less
certain that you would enjoy it. He recounts his musings while driving
(along the NJ Tpk, I believe). It's a fascinating and entertaining
insight into how the mind wanders with a completely understandable
mathematical/logical bent. If you enjoy compendi of mathematical
oddities, puzzles, trivia, etc. then this is a satisfying read, The
rest of the book may or may not be to your liking, but the prequel;
"Innumeracy" is definitely readable by the layman and has gotten rave
reviews and awards from all sorts of quarters.
