The man who loved only numbers by Paul Hoffman.
It's about Paul Erdos.
Paragraph from the back of the book:
One of the most prolific and eccentric mathematicians of our time, a man who possessed unimaginable
powers of though yet was unable to manage some of the simplest daily tasks. For more than two
decades he lived of two tattered suitcases, crisscrossing four continents at a frenzied pace, chasing
mathematical problems in pursuit of lasting beauty and ultimate truth.
