>Picrel:
You'd think the presentation in a 50yo book on category theory might be a little outdated or obscure, but this is some of the most lucid mathematical writing I've ever seen, absolutely incredible. No wonder, given how the guy (co)created the field.
>Rotman's An Introduction to the Theory of Groups
What Mac Lane is to category theory, this is to group theory to me.
>Jacobson's Basic Algebra 1-2
GOAT, nothing else to say.
>Lorenz's Algebra 1-2
Similar to Jacobson. Insane amount and depth of material (assumes only linear algebra and ends up going into Brauer groups and local class field theory). I feel like it's almost unknown on the internet, so I always try to spread the word.
