The books from MIR publishers just seem so hardcore
I loved a lot of the books, most of the introductory mathematics I learnt is from Russian texts. Any recommendations y'all for cool books around the time or rare texts in general
My college has a nice library and I just want to read everything I can lol

I can recommend two Mir books
Physical Paradoxes and Sophisms by Lange
The Portrait of a Crack by Finkel

Venetsky’s “Tales Abouts Metals” and “On Rare and Scattered Metals” are fun.

Just got the copy of the book by Lange, looks like a very fun read! Thanks for the suggestions:)
 
Depending on your level, you might enjoy Zeldovich’s “Higher math for beginners” and “elements of applied mathematics”
